When Magic Mike the film hit cinema screens, millions of women broke out into a sweat over the super-hot-hotty that is Channing Tatum wearing just a skimpy pair of pants, and they can soon relive the experience as Channing confirmed that the film is to be made into a Broadway show.
The movie was based on Channing’s own experiences of working as a male stripper and also starred the insanely fit Alex Pettyfer in one of the lead roles. Too. Much. Fitness. In. One. Film.
Channing made the announcement on Twitter, and it was confirmed that Glee writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is to write the script for the musical, and Channing and Stephen Soderbergh will be the producers of the show.
While Channing had a key role in the creation of the original Magic Mike movie, it has been hinted that he will be taking over as director of the sequel from Steven Soderbergh as Steven retires from film making, though he will still be involved in the creation. We hope that doesn’t mean we miss out on having Channing in the film though!
Channing told Hollywood Reporter, "Either Reid Carolin and I will direct it together, or we'll have Greg Jacobs direct. He worked as a producer on the first movie and has been Steven's right-hand man for almost 25 movies. Right now, we're just trying to clean up the story, and then we'll make a decision. But it is hard for me and Reid to direct after one of the greatest directors of our time. Steven has argued [for us to do so]. He has said he would shoot it; he would DP it." WE. CAN’T. WAIT!
