It has just been reported that Channing Tatum will team up with screenwriter Billy Ray and producer Joe Roth to develop new Peter Pan movie.

The pitch package has been offered to studios starting Tuesday, March 1. Details about the project are scarce and it is not clear if Tatum will star or just produce it. The movie is put under the title "Peter Pan Begins" and will tell the origin of Peter Pan, so The Hollywood Reporter says.
