Channing Tatum was almost the star of a fairy tale Guillermo del Toro.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Tatum said he was offered the role of the beast in the story of Del Toro of “Beauty and the Beast”. However, because the star of “Roofman” “has just had a baby” at the time and the script for the film was not “totally there”, he refused the role. Tatum returns to the decision as “one of the greatest errors” in his career.
“One of the biggest mistakes in my career: Guillermo del Toro wanted to make” beauty and the beast “, his version of the beast”, recalls Tatum. “And I had just had a baby, I was on a film that killed me absolutely, and the script was not yet completely there. I was just in a place in my head that I said to myself:” I don’t think I could do it for the moment. “It was the biggest error, because I am the biggest guillermo fan of all time.
Tatum has not missed anything since the film was never directed. He finally hopes that he will be able to correct his harm and work with the triple winner of the Oscars.
“He has a billion other things he wants to do,” added Tatum. “It is such a creator. I will probably never forgive myself on that one, but I hope that we can work together one day. ”

He wrote in his criticism: “[Del Toro’s] The empathetic approach seems less revolutionary in “Frankenstein”, because most of the versions of Shelley’s history feel for the brute, as opposed to its creator (played less as a scientist than an artist tortured by an Oscar with long hair Isaac). Boris Karloff embodied him like a tragic figure, crouching by the lake with the little girl, naive at the danger he poses for others. Now we get Jacob Elardi, resembling a Jock Emo or an injured soldier, which is partly true, because he was rebuilt in the corpses of several. »»
