NASCAR will collaborate with Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh on a feature film to be entitled "Logan Lucky." The film will star Channing Tatum, Daniel Craig, Riley Keough, Adam Driver and Seth MacFarlane.
According to a NASCAR news release, the film will depict a theoretical heist at Charlotte Motor Speedway. It marks Soderbergh's first feature film since he announced his retirement in 2013 after directing films including "Ocean's Eleven," "Traffic" and "Erin Brockovich."
Tatum, who worked with Soderbergh for the "Magic Mike" films, "Haywire" and "Side Effects," was grand marshal for the Sprint Cup race at Pocono 400 in 2014 (with fellow "22 Jump Street" star Jonah Hill).
"We are excited to work with Steven, Channing and all of Logan Lucky's incredible cast and producers," said Zane Stoddard, NASCAR vice president of entertainment marketing and content development. "It's a big-hearted, fun story that showcases NASCAR and Charlotte Motor Speedway as the world-class sports entertainment property and venue that they are, much like the Bellagio in Steven's 'Ocean's Eleven.' "
Pre-production filming will begin this weekend at the Coca-Cola 600 (Sunday, 6 p.m. ET, Fox)
