"Magic Mike Xxl" Gets Down To Business


Production has started on the upcoming sequel "Magic Mike Xxl". A tweeted pic of the slate marked the occasion.




Writer and star Channing Tatum told GQ that the sequel sees Mike and some of the others heading out on a road trip tour of stripper conventions. Once again, the film will be based on his own experiences. Tatum,  Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, and Alex Pettyfer have agreed to return--It's unclear if Matthew McConaughey is reprising his role as Dallas.

Steven Soderbergh's longtime assistant director Gregory Jacobs ("Criminal," "Wind Chill") is taking over the helm of the film. Jacobs served as both assistant director and producer on the first "Magic Mike," while Soderbergh will stay on as an executive producer director of photography, camera operator and film editor for the sequel. Tatum and Reid Carolin penned the script for the second film

"Mike 2" hits  July 1st 2015.
