Channing Tatum will topline Kimberly Peirce's STOP LOSS alongside Ryan Phillippe for Paramount Pictures, says Variety.
The Iraq war drama tells the story of a soldier (Phillippe) who finishes a tour of duty in Iraq only to be told that he has to serve another so he goes AWOL. Tatum plays a hot-shot fighter from Texas.
Shooting was gearing up to start in April but the casting process took longer than expected as filmmakers worked out Phillippe's schedule.
