MANILA, Philippines - How would you like to enter the world of male strippers? In the highly-anticipated Magic Mike, starring Channing Tatum (The Vow, Step Up) in the title role, you’re in for some exciting discoveries about the erotic job some men get into. Directed by Oscar winner Steven Soderbergh (Traffic, Erin Brockovich), Tatum is joined by Alex Pettyfer (Beastly, I Am Number Four), Matt Bomer (White Collar TV series), Joe Manganiello (True Blood TV series) and Matthew McConaughey (Contact, A Time To Kill). Five hunks in one movie equals five times the hotness.
Magic Mike (Tatum) is a veteran stripper who brings a young dancer called “The Kid” (Pettyfer) to Xquisite, a club where he works at, and introduces him to owner, Dallas (McConaughey) and the other guys, Big Dick Richie (Manganiello) and Ken (Bomer). Seeing that The Kid has potential for the job and interest to earn easy money, Magic Mike mentors him in the arts of stripping and hustling on and off stage. Meanwhile, Magic Mike meets his protégé’s sister (Cody Horn), and falls for her. But his lifestyle gets in the way.
Tatum co-produces the movie which is inspired by his own experience as a stripper in his late teens in Tampa, Florida. The steamy choreography will not only expose the men’s chiseled physique, but their dancing skills as well. A group number where the five hotties rip off their Army fatigues and get down and dirty in their thongs is just one of the many jaw-dropping scenes the film promises. Let Magic Mike take you to this one-of-a-kind world of ecstasy starting July 11 as it opens in theaters. Magic Mike is from Viva International Pictures and Multivision Pictures.
