Everything is in place for 'Magic Mike 2' to be up and rolling in no time flat. Channing Tatum recently announced his interest in writing the sequel's script, and Steven Soderbergh has signed on to DP, while Channing directs with Reid Carolin. No word about Alex Pettyfer's involvement just yet, but Joe Manganiello and Tatum's muse Matthew McConaughey have both let it be known that they would more than love to pretend to be strippers again.
Channing Tatum recently told the Hollywood Reporter that Steven Soderbergh has agreed to work on the film if he doesn't have to direct the whole show, but Tatum isn't sold on the idea:
"Either [my producing partner] Reid Carolin and I will direct it together, or we'll have Greg Jacobs direct.
"But it is hard for me and Reid to direct after one of the greatest directors of our time. Steven has argued [for us to do so]. He has said he would shoot it; he would DP it. And there's another thing: Is that good?
"He is such an opinionated and talented man... It would be like having sex with your girlfriend while her porn-star ex-boyfriend is in the room watching you."
Regardless of who's directing, once Mathew McConaughey heard there was a real movie in the works he got excited, but only if he can play Dallas his way (via Perez Hilton):
"I know it's something that's legitimately brewing. In the right way [I would come back]. It would be so much fun, but I would only be able to revisit Dallas if I really go, 'OK, that's what he would be doing'...I'd have to keep him the same tone. "
Joe Manganiello doesn't have quite so many stipulations.
Manganiello told E! that for him working on Magic Mike was like living in Vienna before the war:
"Think Reid's writing and [Channing Tatum] is talking to Reid, but there's nothing concrete yet. But would I like to work with those guys again?
"Yea. I think I probably had the best time I've ever had in my life working on that movie."
That sounds beautiful, maybe we she all audition to be in Magic Mike 2.
