PanARMENIAN.Net - Channing Tatum is eying a lead role in an upcoming big-screen adaptation of Jason Padgett's memoir "Struck by Genius: How a Brain Injury Made Me a Mathematical Marvel". He will also produce the movie with Reid Carolin, Peter Kiernan, and Michael Costigan for Sony, AceShowbiz reported.

Padgett sees the world like no one else. He becomes an instant genius in math and physics after a violent mugging changed the way his brain works. He suffers a traumatic brain injury and, along with it, gains unique gifts by developing an astonishing ability to draw complex geometric shapes.

Tatum just got off "22 Jump Street" with Jonah Hill and will next share screen with Mila Kunis in "Jupiter Ascending". He is also attached to "Magic Mike XXL" which he wrote with Carolin and is set to reunite with Hill in Coen Brothers' "Hail Caesar".
