Channing Tatum

Conceived and Directed By

Channing Tatum has established himself as a leading actor and filmmaker.

Tatum and his two business partners, Reid Carolin and Peter Kiernan, founded their production company, Free Association, in 2014. They are currently in post-production on DOG, which Tatum co-directed with Carolin. The script was written by Carolin based upon a story by Carolin & Brett Rodriguez. The film is a road-trip comedy that tracks two hard-charging former Army Rangers paired against their will; Briggs (Tatum), and Lulu (a Belgian Malinois), as they race down the Pacific Coast in hopes of making it to a fellow soldier's funeral on time.  Along the way, they’ll drive each other completely crazy, confront the possibility that pet psychics are real, and begin to reckon with the one thing they were trained never to do: surrender. MGM will release the film domestically in 2021 while FilmNation will handle the international rights.

He will also star in an UNTITLED MONSTER PROJECT, which Free Association will produce alongside Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Reid Carolin had the original idea for the project and wrote the treatment. Wes Took is writing the script based on Carolin’s treatment. 

Most recently, the Free Association team served as producers on Sony’s FATHERHOOD, starring Kevin Hart. They are in pre-production on SPACEMAN OF BOHEMIA for Netflix, with Adam Sandler starring and Johan Renck directing.

The film is based on the true story of John du Pont, the paranoid schizophrenic heir to the du Pont chemical fortune, who built a wrestling training facility called Team Foxcatcher on his Pennsylvania estate and murdered Olympic wrestler Dave Schultz. Tatum portrays Dave’s brother, Mark Schultz.

Also in 2014, Tatum reprised his role as ‘Jenko’ in the blockbuster hit sequel 22 JUMP STREET, opposite Jonah Hill and directed by Chris Miller and Phil Lord. The film grossed over $234 million worldwide. The first film, 21 JUMP STREET, released in 2012 and brought in $200 million worldwide.

Jake Brewer

Jake Brewer was born and raised in South East London where he originally set out to follow his Dad’s footsteps into the draughtsmen trade, but fell into acting and then found dancing at the age of 16.

When he got back on land, he danced for Bananarama and new artist Lewis Capaldi in his Grace video, as well as modelling for Lululemon, Fairfax, Favour and most notably for Adidas as a body double for Gareth Bale.

Whenever he can, he jets off to Sweden to see his family and to get away from the hustle and bustle that comes with life in London. But as much as he's a city boy, he feels most at peace when he's in the sun and near the sea. Especially if he can scuba dive or snorkel, anything to get him in the water. 

He's also a massive Marvel fan so if you have anything to say superhero related, he's your man. Forever hopeful that radioactive spiders exist 🕷🕸
