“Yes, we have the rights to Ghost, but let’s do something different,” he pointed out, referring to some troubling stereotypes of the original film. “I think it will be necessary to apply these changes,” he commented.
Tatum, who was last seen in theaters in Cidade Perdida (The Lost City, in the original), alongside Sandra Bullock, has other highly successful productions under his belt, such as Free Guy: Assuming Control ( 2021), Anjos da Lei (2012) and Ela Dança, Eu Danço (2006). Currently 42 years old, the artist will have the great challenge of reviving a character considered by many moviegoers as a classic.

Directed by Jerry Zucker, the original feature film tells the story of an ordinary couple formed by Sam Wheat (Swayze) and Molly Jensen (Moore).
