LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) – Channing Tatum may soon be bumping and grinding for a genuine Hollywood princess.

Cody Horn, the daughter of former Warner Bros. president and COO Alan Horn, is circling Tatum's male stripper drama, "Magic Mike," TheWrap has confirmed.

ThePlaylist first reported her casting.

Horn would play Tatum's love interest in the film.

Steven Soderbergh is set to direct the semi-autobiographical story of Tatum's early years spent exotic dancing for his dinner.

Alex Pettyfer ("I Am Number Four") and Matthew McConaughey are set to co-star.

Horn is represented by Paradigm and Untitled Entertainment. She has previously appeared in the films "Twelve" and "Flipped," and snagged a recurring role in the FX series "Rescue Me."

David O. Russell circling Sleeping Beauty story (Reuters)

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – David O. Russell has surfaced as one of the directors circling Disney's fantasy "Maleficent," a live-action version of the "Sleeping Beauty" story starring Angelina Jolie as the evil witch.

Tim Burton exited the project earlier this year, opening up the director's spot. Russell is among those now being considered for the job, but insiders stressed there are other names in the mix as well.

"Maleficent" is told from the witch's point of view.

Russell's calendar opened up when he parted ways last month with Columbia Pictures, where he was attached to direct "Unchartered Drake's Fortune," based on the popular video game. He was last in theaters with the Oscar-winning drama "The Fighter."
