A new UK trailer for director Steven Soderberghâs male stripper movie Magic Mike has gone online. The film is loosely based on star Channing Tatumâs days as a stripper, and the actor plays a mentor to a young âexotic dancerâ played by Alex Pettyfer. Most of the first trailer focused squarely on Tatumâs character and his furniture-making skills, but this trailer shows us a lot more of the mentor/mentee relationship. We also get some new looks at Matthew McConaughey, who is pitch-perfect as the nightclubâs ringleader.  Iâm always down for a new Soderbergh project, and Iâm eager to find out what he saw in Tatumâs story that he thought would make a great movie.Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film also stars Riley Keough, Olivia Munn, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Cody Horn, and Adam Rodriguez. Magic Mike opens on June 29th.Hereâs the synopsis for Magic Mike:
To a rebellious 19-year-old kid (Pettyfer) looking for independence from his family, Magic Mike (Tatum) seems like the perfect role model: heâs got a nice car, a nice apartment, and a seemingly endless supply of women. Whatâs his secret? Heâs a male stripper, and when the kid dives headlong into Magic Mikeâs world, his mad dancing skills and hunger for excitement make for an unforgettable summer.
Sexy, funny and shocking, this film is a hedonistic thrill ride with a powerful undertow. A razor sharp cast - led by top liner Channing Tatum in a career-defining turn as the titular Magic Mike devours the up-to-the moment freight train of a script, and the result will be relentlessly entertaining and sure to be one of the most talked about films of the yearâ¦â¦ and letâs not forget the price-of-admission dancing sequences...
