Dog Trailer Channing Tatum Directs Himself In Buddy Comedy

The official synopsis for “Dog” reads: “[The film] is a buddy comedy that follows the misadventures of two former Army Rangers paired against their will on the road trip of a lifetime. Army Ranger Briggs (Tatum) and Lulu (a Belgian Malinois dog) buckle into a 1984 Ford Bronco and race down the Pacific Coast in hopes of making it to a fellow soldier’s funeral on time. Along the way, they’ll drive each other completely crazy, break a small handful of laws, narrowly evade death, and learn to let down their guards in order to have a fighting chance of finding happiness.”

MGM picked up the distribution rights to “Dog” in March 2020. Carolin and Tatum said in a statement at the time: “‘Dog’ is a story that’s been growing in our lives for years, so we’re deeply honored that Mike Deluca and MGM have chosen to help us bring it to life, and to support our first film as directors. As long-time admirers of Mike’s taste and creative instincts, we couldn’t be more excited to join forces with him and the entire team at MGM to share ‘Dog’ with audiences everywhere.” “Dog” is not the first time Tatum and Carolin have tackled this subject matter. The two film partners met while working on Kimberly Peirce’s 2008 Iraq war drama “Stop-Loss” and joined forces to produce Deborah Scranton’s 2017 HBO documentary “War Dog: A Soldier’s Best Friend.” The non-fiction feature explored the relationships that formed between U.S. Special Operations soldiers and the K9s that serve alongside them in combat. “Dog” is set to be released in the United States February 18, 2022, by United Artists Releasing.
