Chris Pratt and Channing Tatum as BFF Ghostbusters? Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling joining Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer and Lizzy Caplan in Paul Feig's female-led Ghostbusters reboot? That's the latest news from the Sony email hack,? The Sony email hack has revealed correspondence from 22 Jump Street star Tatum's team revealing plans to team up with Guardians of the Galaxy hunk Pratt for a Batman Begins-esque franchise spinoff for the two movie megastars. The leaked emails also detailed more of Feig's plans for the all-female Ghostbusters including Lawrence, Stone, McCarthy, Schumer and Caplan.

The Daily Beast report that an email from Sony Exec Amy Pascal - co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment - to original Ghostbusters director and producer Ivan Reitman, says that "Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer, and Lizzy Caplan have all expressed interest in the project."

Gosling, says The Daily Beast, is also reportedly interested in Ghostbusters, according other leaded emails from Pascal.

As for Channing Tatum, The Daily Beast also report he sent an email to Pascal yelling "Let us show the world The DarkSide and let us fight it with all the glory and epicness of a HUGE BATMAN BEGINS MOVIE. I know we can make this a huge franchise. Fun adventure craziness. COME OONNNN!!!"

It prompted, says The Daily Beast, a follow up email from "Hannah Minghella, co-president of production for Columbia Pictures", back to Pascal and "a team of Sony execs" which apparently explains Tatum's idea: to team up with Chris Pratt for a Ghostbusters spin-off, with the Russo brothers (directors of Captain America: The Winter Soldier) producing.

Minghella allegedly responded saying . "So... in a curious turn of events - the Russos and Channing want to develop Ghostbusters as a vehicle for Channing and Chris Pratt to do together."

"The Russos, Channing and Reid," the email went on, adding in Reid Carolin, Tatum's producing partner, "have been brainstorming ideas and want to create a whole new mythology that would support multiple movies (the way that Nolan reinvented Batman). To be clear - the Russos want to produce (not direct) and while Channing and Chris are looking for a movie to do together they haven't mentioned this to him yet because they weren't sure how we'd react."

Um. Awesome?

It's not the only lead to involve Tatum and Pascal, either, with the seemingly excitable actor emails to her showing his excitement following the premiere of 22 Jump Street, which topped Ted as the 2nd biggest R-rated comedic opening of all time.

As reported by Gawker, Tatum emailed Pascal saying:

"F YOU TED !!!! SECOND OF ALLLL TIMMMMME BEEEOTCH!!!! COME ON JUMPSTREETERS WE GOT CATE BLANCHETT WIT DIS BOX OFFICE BITCHES!!!!!!!!"

Which was then followed by page after page of Tatum simply laughing 'AHAHAHAHAHA'.

Channing Tatum = boss.
