The director revealed that he's developing an "interracial love affair action movie" revolving around a gay couple with the "Magic Mike" star attached to play one of the male leads.
Daniels describes the untitled project a gay "Mr and Mrs Smith", but with the two good-looking guys as the action heroes.
The filmmaker is happy to have scored Pettyfer for the movie. "He's so hot, isn't he? So hot. And so aware of his hotness in a way that's so...I love him to death."
Pettyfer played a supporting role in the historical fiction drama "Lee Daniels' The Butler", starring as hot-tempered farm owner Thomas Westfall who was shot to death after raping the wife of his sharecropping tenant.
