This is one of those comments a director makes that may be getting taken out of context and turned into something that sounds far more likely to happen than is actually is, but Bridesmaids and The Heat director Paul Feig has suggested he’s planning to make a gay romantic comedy with Channing Tatum and SNL’s John Milhiser set to star.
Milhiser will play a normal guy who starts dating someone who’s as crazily hot as Tatum. That might sound great, but the average Joe finds is hard to cope. The movie was apparently originally written for a heterosexual couple, with Melissa McCarthy and Jon Hamm attached to star at one point, however things have since changed.
Before you get too full-on excited about Tatum finally getting gay, Cinema Blend, who broke the story not that the actor’s reps have ’emphasized that Feig’s enthusiasm does not mean anything is actually happening yet’. So at the moment it’s just a possibility.

Paul Feig had a huge hit directing Bridesmaids, but while he’s attached himself to a few films he’s taken his time deciding what to make next. However it appears he’s now made up his mind as 
It appears Bridesmaids director Paul Feig wants to head in a slightly different direction, with a movie that has space for some humour but also has the potential for plenty of Oscar-bait emotion. 
While there’s still uncertainty over whether a sequel to Bridesmaids will ever happen (Universal wants one, Kristen Wiig doesn’t, and Melissa McCarthy won’t do it without Wiig), the director of the 2011 hit, Paul Feig, is reuniting with Universal for the comedy project The Better Woman, according to 
After Bridesmaids became one of Universal’s few recent major hits, it’s unsurprising the studio has wanted some more. However there’s been a bit of a roadblock, as the film’s star and co-writer, Kristen Wiig, is said to be against a follow-up.
