Although he was only briefly spotted in the first trailer, the Brits must love Alex Pettyfer. In a new UK trailer for Steven Soderbergh‘s male stripper story Magic Mike he is the primary focus, as he rises the ranks of stripperdom with Channing Tatum, in the film based on his own life. The trailer is actually more appealing than the domestic version, which geared heavily toward a somewhat generic romance.
As for Pettyfer, the actor who last appeared in In Time, Beastly and I Am Number Four is also gearing up for another project. Variety reports that he’ll lead the next film from Pascal Chaumeil (Heartbreaker), an English-language project titled Diamond Dogs. He’ll play a “popular high school quarterback whose life is turned upside down after he accidentally kills someone, a crime that his father, who is the local sherrif, is covering up.”
For now, check out this new trailer for Magic Mike from HeyUGuys and more behind-the-scenes footage at EW for the film also starring Matthew McConaughey, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Gabriel Iglesias, Olivia Munn, Riley Keough, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Cody Horn, Adam Rodriguez, Kevin Nash and Betsy Brandt.
