Channing Tatum set to star in new true crime movie Roofman about serial McDonald's robber Jeffrey Manchester


Channing Tatum has secured his next film project, a true crime story called Roofman.

The synopsis for the thriller reads 'Roofman will tell the remarkable story of Jeffrey Manchester, 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.' Fingerprints left on a Catch Me If You Can DVD at Circuit City led to his recapture in 2005 and he was found guilty of numerous charges and sentenced him to upwards of 40 years in prison. In a photo, Tatum's fiancée Zoe, who is making her directorial debut with the project, interacted with Naomi Ackie and Alia Shawkat, who will both appear in the movie.
