Hollywood stars Tom Hardy and Channing Tatum will feature in a film about the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. Universal has picked up the untitled project, which will be directed by George Nolfi of The Adjustment Bureau fame, as per Deadline.

Jules Daly, Tatum and Hardy will produce as well as Reid Carolin and Peter Kiernan of Free Association.

Nolfi, who has also written on films like Ocean's Twelve, The Bourne Ultimatum and Timeline, will serve as an executive producer. Hardy recently featured in Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the sequel to his 2018 hit Venom and will next star in Gareth Evan's Netflix thriller Havoc.

Tatum will soon be appearing in upcoming film Dog, which is a comedy that he is co-directing alongside Reid Carolin. He will also star opposite Oscar winner Sandra Bullock in The Lost City.
