Universal Studios has picked up the rights to Wicked producer Marc Platt's new musical comedy with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Channing Tatum attached to star.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is currently untitled, but will follow two pilots on a R-rated musical misadventure. It's based on a plot Gordon-Levitt came up with the movie's screenwriter, Michael Bacall, several years ago while filming a movie called Manic.

Gordon-Levitt will also produce with his production company, hitRECord Films, as will Tatum with his company, Free Association.

Neither actor is stranger to song and dance, with Tatum frequently busting a move in the Magic Mike series and Gordon-Levitt making everyone's dreams come true with his Hall and Oates dance number from (500) Days of Summer.

Previously, the two actors were tapped for a big budget adaptation of Guys and Dolls in 2013 that sadly fell through.

If you can't wait a couple of years for the movie to come out, you can see Tatum, clad in a old-timey sailor uniform, dancing his heart out in the Coen Brother's new film, Hail Caesar.

Pretty much never wanted a musical like this so badly, could be amazing.

JGL can sing well, and Tatum's got dance moves for days, so this could be interesting.

Huh, had no idea they were planning a Guys and Dolls remake before. Damn shame, one of my favorite musicals.
