Warners Bros. has a Calamity on their hands.
The studio is in final negotiations to win the high-priced bidding war for Calamity Hustle, the action comedy that has Ryan Reynolds and Channing Tatum attached to star as wayward bothers.
Aaron and Adam Nee, the sibling team that was behind the 2022 sleeper hit The Lost City, wrote the script and are attached to direct.
Reynolds and Tatum are also producing via their respective banners, Maximum Effort and Free Association. Also producing is Kevin Walsh, who is currently in the awards season mix with Napoleon, as are the Nees via their banner Persons Attempting.
The package hit Hollywood after Thanksgiving and attracted only a select group of buyers — legacy studio Warners, and streaming goliaths Amazon and Netflix. The small pool of bidders was a result of the high-priced nature of the package. The actors were asking for a minimum of $20 million apiece,...

After a week’s worth of studios flashing their wallets around, Warner Bros. has emerged victorious in the bidding war for Calamity Hustle, an upcoming action comedy project starring Ryan Reynolds and Channing Tatum. Similar to the buddy comedies of old, like Lethal Weapon, Adam and Aaron Nee direct Calamity Hustle from their own script. Amazon, Netflix, and Warner Bros. led the pack during the bidding sessions, with WB ultimately winning the prize. Calamity Hustle is hoping to have a franchise appeal.
According to Deadline‘s exclusive report, Reynolds plays a cop estranged from his low-level criminal brother. The duo went their separate ways after growing up in a rough part of town, each with different goals. When one brother is targeted for a diamond heist, the brother who went into law enforcement must hunt him down before those he ripped off. Cameras will roll in New York, Los Angeles,...

Exclusive: Warner Bros has won a week long auction for Calamity Hustle, the action comedy that will star Ryan Reynolds and Channing Tatum. Adam & Aaron Nee wrote the script, and they will direct. All the studios were in on this, but it came down to Amazon, Netflix and Warner Bros. Led by production chiefs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy, Warner Bros stepped up for the kind of star-driven movie that fueled the studio’s fortunes back in the day.
The spec is likened in tone to the mismatched buddy actioner like Lethal Weapon, and the hope is to launch a franchise. Reynolds will play a cop who is estranged from his low level criminal brother (Tatum). They grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, and went in the opposite direction. When bro is implicated as part of a diamond heist, the cop must hunt him down before those he ripped off.

Exclusive: A wild pre-holiday auction for a Ryan Reynolds global heist comedy vehicle is coming to a close, with Netflix winning the deal. Deadline revealed the untitled pitch last week, when the creatives did the rounds to pitch directly — something that hasn’t happened much since the pandemic –and the 7-figure bids began hitting the table. Dana Fox will write the script, and Simon Kinberg is producing with Reynolds.
The pitch is untitled, but I’ve heard it has great parts for an ensemble in the spirit of an Oceans Eleven. It is also set in the international arena. The idea originated from Fox and Kinberg, and they pitched it to Reynolds and Maximum Effort.
There were eight buyers in the mix, and that whittled down to five and finally four before Netflix prevailed. Sources said Fox will be paid mid 7-figures to write it and the producing deals are high 7-figures.
