The story is inspired by Channing Tatum’s pre-Hollywood days as a male dancer--The biopic follows a newcomer to the world of exotic dancing (Alex Pettyfer) who is tempted by an older woman (Demi Moore) as well as bond with a mentor to the younger stripper--The titular Magic Mike (Tatum)
Horn will play Pettyfer’s sister in the film who has a romance with Tatum’s character.
Horn apparently beat out some bigger name actresses for the part with one more female role still to be cast. Horn is making herself known in the biz having landed a key role in End of Watch as Officer Davis last month
Matthew McConaughey was just cast as Dallas, a former stripper who now owns the Xquisite club where Mike works. Joe Manganiello will play Big Dick Richie While White Collar's Matt Bomer also stars as another stripper. Riley Keough plays Pettyfer's girlfriend. 30 year old Cubab actor William Levy has also joined the pic most likely playing another stripper
Reid Carolin pens the screenplay.The idea of Magic Mike came about when Soderbergh and Tatum were working together on the espionage drama Haywire.
Tatum, Nick Wechsler, Gregory Jacobs and Carolin will produce the pic.
Filming is slated to begin in September for a release in 2012
