Channing Tatum wants to make a 'Ghostbusters' spin-off. Oh, and he was really happy when '22 Jump Street' did well.
In the latest batch of Sony email leaks we got one very interesting nugget of information. Apparently Channing Tatum and Chris Pratt are planning a Ghostbusters spin-off movie to stand alongside the recently announced Ghostbusters 3, which Paul Feig is working on with an all-female cast.

Tatum and Pratt, the stars of 22 Jump Street and Guardians of the Galaxy respectively, have reportedly planned a "simultaneously super scary and funny" spin-off which would assumedly have a tone similar to that of Tatum's comedy franchise with Jonah Hill.

In a leaked email from Tatum (published on The Daily Beast), the actor asks chairman Amy Pascal to let him and Pratt begin working on the movie.
"Let us show the world The DarkSide and let us fight it with all the glory and epicness of a HUGE BATMAN BEGINS MOVIE. I know we can make this a huge franchise. Fun adventure craziness. COME OONNNN!!!," he said.

In another email, co-president of Columbia Pictures Hannah Minghella said she thought Tatum and Pratt's movie could "be developed in partnership so they complement one another with the same Ghostbusters universe."
Oh, and in another email, it is suggested that Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer and Lizzy Kaplan are all keen to star in Ghostbusters 3, set for summer 2016.

Speaking in an email to Pascal, the Hollywood star said: "F YOU TED !!!! SECOND OF ALLLL TIMMMMME BEEEOTCH!!!!"
