    Preview:

    • Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst are starring in ‘Roofman’.
    • It’s the new movie from ‘The Place Beyond the Pines’ director Derek Cianfrance.
    • The movie is based on a strange true crime story.

    Channing Tatum has not –– perhaps besides his role as Gambit in the wildly successful ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ –– enjoyed the most successful summer at the box office, with ‘Blink Twice’ a mild earner and ‘Fly Me to The Moon’ a big bomb.

    He’ll be hoping for better things in future, and he’s now, per Deadline, locked in a new gig, agreeing to star ‘The Place Beyond the Pines’ and ‘Blue Velvet’ director Derek Cianfrance’s latest, true crime tale ‘Roofman’.

    And with ‘Civil War’s Kirsten Dunst joining the movie, the cast has begun to come together.

    What’s the story of ‘Roofman’?

    ‘Roofman’, co-written by Cianfrance and Kirt Gunn, follows Jeffrey Manchester (Tatum in the movie), an eccentric and charming serial robber who broke into more than 60 McDonald’s overnight via their roofs, then emptied the cash register in the morning after herding staff into freezers.

    The former U.S. Army Reserve officer became known as the ‘Rooftop Robber’ or ‘Roofman’ and was known for his gentle demeanor and for rarely resorting to violence.

    After he was caught and imprisoned in 2000, he escaped jail and then evaded capture by holing up for months in a Toys “R” Us and Circuit City store in North Carolina. He lived off baby food and would ride bicycles for exercise in the toy store.

    After reportedly leaving his fingerprints on a ‘Catch Me If You Can’ DVD in the electronics store (irony alert!), he was recaptured and sent back to jail.

    Dunst will play an employee at the Toys “R” Us who is struggling to make ends meet and to provide for her two girls. She has no idea that Jeffrey has been secretly watching her from inside the store and slowly falling for her.

    When she meets him, she’s charmed and finds him endearing, and the two form a serious bond until she finds out the truth about him –– but even that can’t stop her for caring for him.

    Where else will we see Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst?

    Tatum will next be seen in Beth de Araújo’s drama ‘Josephine,’ about a young girl who witnesses a brutal attack in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, spurring a spiral of complicated behavior. The movie is now in post-production.

    He’s also attached to a wide variety of projects, including new drama ‘Soundtrack of Silence’ and crime drama ‘Bloodlines.’

    As for Dunst, she’s the subject of awards chatter for ‘Civil War,’ and has worked on a new drama called ‘Rhubarb,’ about adult siblings navigating the grief over their beloved pet’s death.

    When will ‘Roofman’ be in theaters?

    The film’s distribution rights are up for sale, so there is no news on a release date until it has found a home.
