Channing Tatum, whose production company owns the rights to 'Ghost,' plans to remake the iconic movie — with a few changes along the way.

In our increasingly fragile and unpredictable world, “Ghost" might well strike a seductive chord: a lover from the afterlife hovering over his beloved to keep her from harm, trying to communicate the love he couldn’t express to her in life.

“[W]e’re going to do something different,” Tatum said, “I think it needs to change a little bit and have our…” But the actor never finished his thought — because he was very distracted by the “very, very sexual” pottery he was making. Representatives for Tatum and Free Association did not immediately respond Tuesday to The Times’ requests for comment.

The actor will be onscreen next in the Feb. 10 release “Magic Mike’s Last Dance,” re-teaming with “Magic Mike” director Steven Soderbergh for the last installment of the stripper saga that was based on Tatum’s early career as an exotic dancer. The film has also spawned a live show in Las Vegas and an HBO Max reality show.

Nnnnnnnnoooooooooo!aaaargh! He doesn’t have Patrick’s sensitivity at all!

He could fit as a pottery figure in the movie.

Tired of watching remakes of movies. Hollywood actually knows what you want, which is same o'l story plot. Thats why they keep making different films with the same ol bullshit story plot pay attention. Nothing new under the sun.

no please no.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

blasphemy cruel.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo

As a actor he should not do that,,that’s all Hollywood has these days,nothing original just remakes from TV shows and Old movies there is no way they can do it better especially when you take the 50% away blue n green screens

Stop already

Absolutely no one wants this.

There are people out there wishing to see that garbage again?🙄

Noooooooooooooo

I really wish they would leave the classics alone.

Please... NOOOOOOOO.... NOOOOO...

No thanks, not a fan of re makes or Channing

Mmmm. I smell a f*cking parody. Anyway, parody or not, it will be completely unnecessary.

Hmmm…God luck to him on that, it was a huge role both Swayze and Moore.

O no no one beats what Swayze has achieved! What is it Hollywood are u out of scripts only remakes a bunch of tv shows what happened to creativity! Real life movies ?! Adventure? great horror? beautiful romantic ? Nothing? Nada, disappointing cinema

The same Hollywood 'writers' that want to strike for more money, can't come up with a single orginal idea and do nothing but remakes, comic book movies and convert books to movies.

No! Leave the classic alone! No more remakes! Read new books adapt new books if you want ideas! There are plenty of options besides remake. Take the bloody risk! Money over artistic expression and new stories that haven’t been told yet.

Please don't.

Why....?!?! 🤔🙄

Will be DOA at the box office.

I like Tatum, but Swayze can't be topped.

I hope this doesn’t happen

Tatum is another overrated actor like Chris pratt, horrible casting

No

Who’s gonna play Prospect Place Willie?

That’s a movie you don’t touch 🤦🏿‍♂️

Please make it more diverse with a strong social justice message this time.

Why? Stupid.

Guaranteed woke garbage.

Just stop with the remakes. Enough.

Nooooooo. There is only 1 ghost and that's Swayze

Some movies don’t require a remake

Who’s going to take on her tho 👀

Whyyyy does Hollywood do this?

🤮

Don’t ruin a classic channingtatum. Please go make another GI Joe.

No thank you.

Don’t.

Some things shouldn’t be remade.

Noooooooo! No one can replace Patrick.

Why?

Nope

Don’t you fucking dare 😩

NO!

That boy too ugly for that role

If he wants to do Patrick, re-do Road House. He aint got the charm for Ghost

Please. No.

Um...why? Could it be improved upon? Or is this another one of those 'For MODERN audiences' where we play race and gender swapping for a substandard and unfunny 'reimagining'? Yeah...I am gonna assume the latter...

Nhooooooost!

Not a great idea imo

DON’T YOU DO IT!

Do whoopi instead

No thank-you. Chris Pine though.....

Let’s hope the new script has a dance

Nobody can replace Mr. SWAYZE.

Don't do it.

Let's take a good, decent movie and fuck it up Hollyweird style.

Please, DON'T. Thanks Channing.

No originality in Hollywood. Leave the movie alone, and find another story to tell.

NO!!! LEAVE IT ALONE. Can someone make something original these days?

Why?

Like a biopic film?

We were there to stop it!

Leave a “Classic”..a “Classic” like Sam would say, “Ditto”

No

There are just some movies that shouldn't be remade.
