Channing Tatum will reportedly star in a new thriller from Chernin Entertainment called Blood Brothers.

According to Variety, the studio has picked up the original project, which will be penned by The Blue Hour writer Eric Nazarian and Mongol writer and director Sergei Bodrov.

Bodrov will also direct the film while he, Nazarian and Tatum will all serve as producers on the project.

While little is known about the film's plot other than the fact that it is set in Russia, it is being described as a "suspenseful thriller".

Blood Brothers is one of several roles Tatum already has lined up for 2012, which includes both a new G.I. Joe entry and the film Magic Mike, about the actor's days as a young male stripper.

Tatum is currently filming the remake of 21 Jump Street, which also stars Jonah Hill, Dave Frano, Brie Larson and Ellie Kemper.

No further details about Blood Brothers have been announced.
