Actor Channing Tatum will star in and produce an upcoming feature film adaptation of the novel “The Contortionist’s Handbook.” Craig Clevenger wrote the novel which was published in 2002 and Robin Shushan wrote the script for the feature adaptation.

Tatum plays the role of a man whose life becomes complicated when he becomes involved with a woman who has a secret as dark as Tatum’s past.
