Ryan Reynolds is set to star in the upcoming action comedy film, Calamity Hustle, alongside Channing Tatum. Warner Bros. beat out Amazon and Netflix in a bidding war to secure the rights to the movie, with the plan of turning it into a franchise. The Nee brothers, Adam and Aaron, will direct the film, which is being compared to the classic action blockbuster, Lethal Weapon.

Calamity Hustle follows Reynolds' character, a police officer who has become estranged from his criminal brother, played by Tatum.

When Tatum's character becomes implicated in a diamond heist, Reynolds' character must track him down and help the people affected by the robbery. The film will be set during the holiday season and will be filmed in New York, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles.

Reynolds and Tatum will each receive $25 million for their roles in the movie, and the budget is reportedly around $140 million.
