New Line Cinema is fast-tracking an untitled action film starring Channing Tatum (Step Up) as an undercover cop, preemptively snapping up a pitch by T. J. Scott and Kevin Lund and setting it up with Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey.

Variety says the story centers on a New York City cop who must infiltrate the underground world of free running, known as Parkour, to bust a seemingly unstoppable gang of bank robbers.

Scott and Lund, who previously set up a Vivaldi biopic at Imagine, will write the screenplay.

Point Break for the Noughtiest:

New Line is planning production early next year on an untitled drama about the free-jumping extreme sport Parkour with Richie Smyth making his feature helming bow and Channing Tatum (upcoming G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra) to star.

Written by Kevin Lund and T.J. Scott, the drama revolves around a pair of jumpers who use their skills in heists.

Parkour was featured in the opening sequence of Casino Royale.

The film will be produced by Temple Hill partners Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey.
