After successfully dabbling in feature length films, Netflix has stumped up the cash to venture into their first feature length animation, America: The Motion picture and have secured Channing Tatum to voice the character of the first President of the United States, George Washington.

It’s not only a first for Netflix. The Expendables and Zombieland 2 screenwriter, Dave Callaham, has penned the feature, his first animation too. Matt Thompson takes the helm in the director’s chair, Thompson also teams up with his Floyd County and animated series Archer, partner Adam Reid with Callaham to act as producers on the film with Tatum with his Free Association partners Peter Kiernan and Reid Carolin, and The Lego Movie and Tatum’s Jump Street directors Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Will Allegra at Lord Miller.

There is a whole host of exceptional talent and experience amongst this crew which includes Lord and Miller; the directors of the upcoming Han Solo standalone film starring Tatum’s Hail, Caesar! Co-star Alden Ehrenreich as Han and Danny Glover as Lando Calrissian. They’re also writing the Lego movie sequel. Tatum, who is to be seen later this year in Logan Lucky and Kingsman: The Golden Circle, has previously been the voice of Superman in The Lego Movie and his character Magic Mike in an episode of The Simpsons.

A plot hasn’t surfaced as yet but it is believed to be an R-rated revisionist history tale about the founding of the United States of America, so expect lots of tongue in cheek gags in all very bad taste. Could we be looking at another animation in the form of Seth Rogan’s shocking Sausage Party which raised a few eyebrows and gave everyone nightmares after witnessing that end sequence or something more in the Marvel vain?
