First Photos: Tatum, Dunst In “Roofman”

Paramount Pictures has released the first photos for the upcoming Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst-led true crime story feature “Roofman”.

Oscar nominated filmmaker Derek Cianfrance (“Blue Valentine,” “The Place Beyond the Pines”) directs the project based on the true story of Jeffrey Manchester, a former U.S. Army Reserve officer and an eccentric and charming serial robber.

Manchester broke into more than sixty McDonald’s at night via their roofs, emptying cash registers in the morning after herding staff into freezers. He became known as the ‘Roofman’ and was known for his gentle demeanor and rarely resorting to violence.

Imprisoned in 2000, he escaped jail and evaded capture by holing up for months in a Toys ‘R Us and Circuit City store in North Carolina. He was eventually recaptured and sent back to jail. The film will put the focus on that several months of him being on the run.

EW posted the photos and spoke with Tatum who has met the real Jeffrey Manchester and says: “I really hope Jeff likes the movie. He’s made some bad decisions in his life. That is a fact. But he is probably the first one to tell you that. But I just find him such a beautiful and unfortunate soul. It breaks my heart; he’s so smart and alive, even on a phone call.”

Ben Mendelsohn, Peter Dinklage, Uzo Aduba, Juno Temple, LaKeith Stanfield, Melonie Diaz, Tony Revolori, and Jimmy O. Yang co-star in the film. Cianfrance and Kirt Gunn co-wrote the script while Dylan Sellers and Chris Parker produce.

“Roofman” opens in cinemas on October 10th.
