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)
Manganiello will play Big Dick Richie--no other details were disclosed about the role.
Matthew McConaughey was just cast as Dallas, a former stripper who now owns the Xquisite club where Mike works. White Collar's Matt Bomer also stars as 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
