Deadline broke the news today that a screenwriter has been hired to pen the script for Fox’s upcoming Gambit film, starring Channing Tatum. Josh Zetumer, who previously wrote the script for the Robocop reboot will be bringing the suave, card-throwing cajun to the big screen.
There’s no word yet on any plot details, who the director will be, or if this film will connect to Bryan Singer’s X-Men movies, but hopefully they won’t screw it up.
