Channing Tatum Surprises Sundance With Secret Role in ‘Atropia’


Sundance got a movie star surprise this weekend, when Channing Tatum popped up with a previously unannounced role in the competition title "Atropia."

Channing Tatum brought some movie star heat to a snowy Sundance this weekend, popping up in a previously unannounced role in one of the festival’s premiere titles. It follows the wild true story of completely fabricated villages on U.S. military bases, where actors and stunt crew helped troops prepare for the Iraq War. Shawkat and Turner play performers for hire on one such elaborate set, thrilled by the news that a bona fide American movie star (Tatum) will participate in a chemical weapon attack simulation to prepare for an upcoming role.
