Swasher-Swish

Think Jake Gyllenhaal in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time sorta meets The Patriot....

Channing Tatum is circling to star in the period swashbuckling drama Love and Honor says Vulture.

The pic is a fiction based account of real life historical events set in 1774 when a young Virginian cavalryman named Kieran Selkirk (Tatum) is sent to Russia by Benjamin Franklin. His assignment? Persuade the Tsarina, Catherine The Great to not send support troops to aid the British in their efforts to suppress the rebellion of their American colonies.

Posing as a British mercenary, he promises to satiate her sexual appetites and help her in her fight against the rebellious Cossacks. The adventure piece is filled with bawdy romps, bloody swordfights, political machinations, and exotic locales.


Randall Wallace adapted the script from his own 2005 book. The project had attracted Angelina Jolie who was slated to star as Catherine Now an offer is out to  Anne Hathaway to play a princess' attendant and love interest to Tatum's character
