Steven Soderbergh, busy putting together his very homo Liberace bio-pic with Michael Douglas and Matt Damon, has decided to take on another gay interest feature film. Soderbergh is teaming with Hollywood hearthrob Channing Tatum for the film Magic Mike, which is inspired by Tatum’s past as a male stripper.
Deadline.com reports:
Magic Mike, a story of friendship set in the world of male strippers. Tatum plays the title character, who schools a young dancer in how to hustle on and off the stage. It’s a wild summer of dancing, partying and women. The inspiration for the film is Channing’s own experiences as a stripper when he was 19…
“When Channing talked to me about this, I thought it was one of the best ideas I’d ever heard for a movie,” Soderbergh said in a statement. “I said I wanted in immediately. It’s sexy, funny and shocking. We’re using Saturday Night Fever as our model, so hopefully we’re on the right track.
Said Tatum: “This was a wild and pivotal time in my life and I couldn’t be more thrilled to go down the rabbit hole with Steven.”
