Channing Tatum’s production company, Free Association, is behind the project, which previously made the Magic Mike films, 22 Jump Street and Logan Lucky.
Whether Tatum will be in the movie itself has not been announced.
It will be penned by indie YA script writer S.J. Inwards and helmed by John McPhail who made a splash in 2017 with his comedic Christmas-set zombie musical Anna and the Apocalypse, which scored a number of nominations on the festival circuit.
