In another role reversal, actress Jillian Bell will play the character originally played by Tom Hanks, according to a website.
The 1984 original movie starred Hanks as a man , who as a young boy, was saved from drowning by a mermaid (Hannah).
The mermaid returns 20 years later and finds the boy she once saved, and gives him the option between his life on land or a life under the sea with her.
Tatum, 36, and Bell, 32, previously worked together on 22 Jump Street.
