“I can’t tell you how many scenes in the movie are only one take because that’s all we got.”Īccording to the Department of Defense, about 1,600 military working dogs are keeping the nation safe.

“Truly, there’s been a lot of actors and actresses that are a lot harder to work with than dogs,” joked Tatum. He admitted that he still finished the movie with a “smiley face scar on his buttock” and a gash on his face from a scene where he had to grapple with one of the dogs over a stuffed unicorn toy. Three different dogs played the role of Lulu, and Tatum spent almost a year warming up to them. Not only was production halted by COVID-19, but they learned making a movie with a Belgian Malinois star is a breed of its own. In a live United Service Organizations Q&A with the military community last week, Tatum, co-director Reid Carolin and producer Brett Rodriguez admitted filming “Dog” was more challenging than expected. Tatum’s character is tasked with transporting the canine soldier to her former handler’s funeral in a comedic and tumultuous race down the Pacific Coast. The MGM movie “Dog” is about the relationship between Army Ranger Briggs (Tatum) and Lulu, a Belgian Malinois military working dog. Hollywood superstar Channing Tatum is making a return to the box office after a five-year hiatus, starring in and co-directing a movie that puts military working dogs in the spotlight.
