Channing Tatum Announces That Magic Mike Live Is Coming To Vegas

By Leave a Comment

channing-taum-magic-mike-liveIn a move that’s not too surprising (except in how long it’s taken), Channing Tatum has revealed that Magic Mike is going live with an all male revue that will be hitting Las Vegas next year. It’s surprising it hasn’t happened before because it seems like such as obvious extension, but they may have held off creating a Magic Mike strip show/club, due to the fact Tatum and co. have been working on a musical stage version of the movie. However, little has been heard about that recently, so they may have decided a revue was the next sensible step instead.

Tatum will direct the show, titled Magic Mike Live, which will recreate the film’s ‘Club Domina’ with three bars, an interactive stage and seating for 450 guests. It’ll open at the Hard Rock Cafe in Vegas next March.

In the video below, Tatum talks about his plans, while surrounded by hot shirtless guys doing household chores – and with some puppies thrown in too. While the video talks about this being a club for ladies, you have to hope that gay guys will be allowed in too, especially as the gay contingent certainly helped make the movie a success! Channing’s house in the vid certainly looks like a gay man’s wet dream, if nothing else!

As Channing says, “What if women were given the option that men have had for centuries?. “That’s when my brain morphed into Kevin Costner from Field of Dreams and said, ’If you build it, they will come, spelled c-u-m.’” Take a look at the video below. [Read more…]

Magic Mike XXL: Matt Bomer Sings Plus Some Hot New Pics From The Film

By 1 Comment

magic-mike-xxl-slideI think I officially hate Matt Bomer: great face, dreamy blue eyes, sculpted body, good at acting, cute husband, adorable kids, and now it turns out he’s good at singing voice too. It’s sickening and shouldn’t be allowed, especially as he’s making all the rest of us gays look really bad in comparison!

Bomer is set to show off his singing skills in Magic Mike XXL, and a preview of his version of the song Heaven has been released in a clip that you can watch below.

Alongside that is a selection of new images of Bomer, Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello, Adam Rodriguez and the rest of the Magic Mike male stripping crew.

Here’s the film’s synopsis: ‘Picking up the story three years after Mike bowed out of the stripper life at the top of his game, “Magic Mike XXL” finds the remaining Kings of Tampa likewise ready to throw in the towel.  But they want to do it their way: burning down the house in one last blow-out performance in Myrtle Beach, and with legendary headliner Magic Mike sharing the spotlight with them.  On the road to their final show, with whistle stops in Jacksonville and Savannah to renew old acquaintances and make new friends, Mike and the guys learn some new moves and shake off the past in surprising ways.’

It’s out in cinemas July 3rd. [Read more…]

Magic Mike XXL Gets A Shirtless New Poster

By Leave a Comment

magic-mike-xxl-new-posterI know this will come as a surprise to most of you, but in Magic Mike XXL, Channing Tatum and his cast-mates will be taking their shirts off! To make sure we’re aware of this, following previous shirtless posters and a very shirtless trailer, a new poster has arrived, where once more the poor guys don’t have enough money to afford clothes to cover their nipples.

Take a look at it above (and it has to be said, Matt Bomer is looking really good!).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“Magic Mike” stars Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash, Adam Rodriguez and Gabriel Iglesias are reuniting for the hotly anticipated sequel “Magic Mike XXL”. Joining the returning cast, in brand new roles, will be Elizabeth Banks (“The Hunger Games” franchise), Donald Glover (“Community”), Amber Heard (“The Rum Diary”), Andie MacDowell (“Footloose”), Jada Pinkett Smith (“Gotham”) and Michael Strahan (“Live with Kelly and Michael”).

‘Picking up the story three years after Mike bowed out of the stripper life at the top of his game, “Magic Mike XXL” finds the remaining Kings of Tampa likewise ready to throw in the towel. But they want to do it their way: burning down the house in one last blow-out performance in Myrtle Beach, and with legendary headliner Magic Mike sharing the spotlight with them. On the road to their final show, with whistle stops in Jacksonville and Savannah to renew old acquaintances and make new friends, Mike and the guys learn some new moves and shake off the past in surprising ways.’

It’ll be in cinemas in July.

Magic Mike XXL Trailer – Channing Tatum and the stripper boys are on the road

By Leave a Comment

magic mike-xxl-multiple-character-bannerThe press release for this one warned people to ‘Lock up your daughters’, but there was no mention of sons, and so it looks like gay guys are being given free reign on this one (even if there is sadly a minimal amount of Matt Bomer in this trailer).

Generally though, if you’re upset that men keep their clothes on too much in the movies, Magic Mike XXL is here to help you out, and as this trailer is keen to show, this sequel will have plenty more shirtless, stripper shenanigans, while ramping the sexual suggestiveness up to 11.

What’s still not clear is the exact tone it will have. The first movie certainly had plenty of stripping, but that was placed around a rather dark, dramatic plot. Channing Tatum has given mixed responses to whether the new movie will follow suit, or if it will be more deliberately fun.

We’ll have to wait and see.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“Magic Mike” stars Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash, Adam Rodriguez and Gabriel Iglesias are reuniting for the hotly anticipated sequel “Magic Mike XXL”. Joining the returning cast, in brand new roles, will be Elizabeth Banks (“The Hunger Games” franchise), Donald Glover (“Community”), Amber Heard (“The Rum Diary”), Andie MacDowell (“Footloose”), Jada Pinkett Smith (“Gotham”) and Michael Strahan (“Live with Kelly and Michael”).

Magic Mike XXL Trailer – Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer & co. are back and as sexy as ever

By Leave a Comment

magic-mike-xxl-trailer-stillForget Fifty Shades Of Grey, as for many people the sexy film event of 2015 is Magic Mike XXL.
