Channing Tatum & Kirsten Dunst Star in Film ‘Roofman’
Key Takeaways:
– Renowned filmmaker Derek Cianfrance is making a cinematic comeback with “Roofman”.
– Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst are the stars of the film.
– ‘Roofman’ is based on the wild true crime story of Jeffrey Manchester.
– Miramax has secured both international and domestic rights to the film.
Kick-starting his first film in over eight years, Derek Cianfrance is back in action with the much-anticipated ‘Roofman’. Famed for his previous works like ‘Blue Valentine’ and ‘The Place Beyond the Pines’, Cianfrance has been scarce in the film world. His hiatus appears to be over as ‘Roofman’ promises to bring him back in the limelight.
‘Roofman’ Set to Dazzle
This film, starring none other than Hollywood heavyweights Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst, draws inspiration from the nutty antics of Jeffrey Manchester in the late ‘90s. So, what was he up to? Well, he was pretty busy robbing McDonald’s restaurants left and right. Yep, Manchester ransacked around 40 to 60 McDonald’s locations across the United States during his spree.
Now, before you start imagining him on the run, crashing at dingy motels, there’s a twist in this tale. This busy bee made a permanent nest for himself in a Toys ‘r Us store located in Charlotte. Believe it or not, Manchester lived in this store for most of his spree – munching on kids‘ snacks and baby food for survival. His nightly activities included going on cycling tours around the store aisles when it was closed for the night.
A Twist in the Tale
And just as true crime stories demand a dash of romance, Manchester also fell for a struggling mom-of-two. But here’s the wrench in this rosy narrative – this lady love was a Toys ‘r Us employee and had no idea that her charming suitor was a fugitive.
With such jumbled facts, one can be sure that ‘Roofman’ is set to echo Cianfrance’s typical narrative complexity. Moreover, his knack for close-up storytelling, comprehensible from his works like ‘Blue Valentine’, ‘The Place Beyond the Pines’, and ‘The Light Between the Oceans,’ promises a compelling film.
Miramax Strikes Gold
Miramax has always had a keen eye for potential blockbusters and it seems like they’ve hit gold once again. The reputed film studio has amassed both domestic and international rights for ‘Roofman’. Given Cianfrance’s striking directorial history and the star-studded lineup, they seem to have made a wise choice.
It’s incredible when truth is stranger than fiction, a maxim that ‘Roofman’ vouches for in its quirky plot. With drama, crime, and romance clubbed together with real-life events under one cinematic roof, we are in for an entertaining ride.
Let’s hope Cianfrance’s latest venture penchants towards the success of ‘Blue Valentine’ and defies the fate of ‘The Light Between the Oceans’. With ‘Roofman’, get ready for a rollercoaster ride of emotions that are sure to leave you on the edge of your seat. Sit tight, grab your popcorn, and anticipate the unexpected in this wild tale of crime, love, and fast food!
