Channing Tatum’s ‘Haywire’ in Development for TV Series at Relativity (Exclusive)

“Haywire,” a 2011 action movie starring Channing Tatum and Gina Carano, is in development as a series at Relativity TV.

The Steven Soderbergh film, about a secret agent on a revenge spree after her agency betrays her, is being adapted at the unit — soon to be an independent company following its purchase by a group of senior lenders in Relativity’s ongoing bankruptcy process.

Documents filed Tuesday in New York Bankruptcy Court said that Relativity CEO Ryan Kavanaugh — currently finalizing a plan to purchase the remainder of the studio’s assets — will retain a 50 percent economic interest from any potential mounting of the project.

The film, which featured an all-star cast including Michael Fassbender, Michael Douglas, Ewan McGregor and Antonio Banderas, made $33 million at the US box office when it was released in 2012.

Earlier on Tuesday, U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Michael Wiles has approved the sale of Relativity Media’s TV division to a group of senior lenders, as Ryan Kavanaugh and a group of investors seek to close a purchase of the remaining assets.

At the Tuesday hearing, attorneys for Relativity also resolved a handful of remaining objections.

Wiles is expected to evaluate a reorganization plan from studio CEO and chairman Kavanaugh and financiers at an October 20 hearing, as the group angles to close their proposed purchase.

The parcel of assets to be purchased by the Kavanuagh group includes Relativity Studios, with movies like Nicholas Hoult‘s “Collide” and Rooney Mara‘s “The Sacred Scripture,” as well as projects in development like a planned reboot of “The Crow.”It also includes the company’s minority stakes in a sports management group, the for-profit Relativity Education and a joint film marketing and distribution entity with EuropaCorp.
