Tatum Wants To Start Out Small Then Go Big

Channing Tatum tells Vulture that while he intends to direct Magic Mike 2--he and his producing/ writer partner Reid Carolin want to direct a small indie drama first.

"We're not going to direct our first movie as a sequel to a Steven Soderbergh movie. That's not smart. I want to start with something very small ... make a lot of mistakes, make them real early, and then go jump in [on the sequel]"

The original Magic Mike is inspired by Tatum's pre-Hollywood days as a male dancer--The biopic followed a newcomer to the world of exotic dancing (Alex Pettyfer) who is tempted by an older woman (Demi Moore) as well as forging a bond with a mentor to the younger stripper--The titular Magic Mike (Tatum)


The first film hits disc on October 23rd.
