Watch the first trailer for director Derek Cianfrance’s ROOFMAN.
Based on an unbelievable true story, Roofman follows Jeffrey Manchester (Channing Tatum), a former Army Ranger and struggling father who turns to robbing McDonald’s restaurants by cutting holes in their roofs, earning him the nickname: Roofman.
After escaping prison, he secretly lives inside a Toys “R” Us for six months, surviving undetected while planning his next move. But when he falls for Leigh (Kirsten Dunst), a divorced mom drawn to his undeniable charm, his double life begins to unravel, setting off a compelling and suspenseful game of cat and mouse as his past closes in.
One of this geek’s favorite filmmakers, Cianfrance’s other superb films include BLUE VALENTINE, THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES, THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS and he was also the co-story writer for SOUND OF METAL, which received a best original screenplay nod at the 93rd Oscars.
ROOFMAN’s cast includes Channing Tatum, Kirsten Dunst, Ben Mendelsohn, LaKeith Stanfield, Juno Temple, Melonie Diaz, Uzo Aduba, Lily Collias, Jimmy O. Yang and Peter Dinklage.
ROOFMAN opens in theaters on October 10.
