Magic Mike star Channing Tatum wants to remake 90s box office smash

MAGIC Mike star Channing Tatum wants to remake 1990 film Ghost.

The 42-year-old US star said his production company Free Association had acquired the rights.

He added: “We’re going to do something different.

“It needs to change a little bit.”

Insiders said Channing was eyeing up the role of Sam Wheat, played by Patrick Swayze.

In the original, murdered banker Sam returns as a spirit to save girlfriend Molly Jensen (Demi Moore) from his enemies.

The cult hit spawned one of the most iconic film scenes of all time.

It is famed for its passionate pottery scene in which a shirtless Sam sits behind Molly as she sculpts.

Ghost bagged Whoopi Goldberg a Best Supporting Actress Oscar.

And writer Bruce Joel Rubin landed the Best Screenplay.
