Things are definitely getting hotter on the set of "Magic Mike."
Hot on the heels of word that Matthew McConaughey has joined the cast of Steven Soderbergh's new film about the fine art of male stripping comes news that Matt Bomer is now part of the lineup, according to Deadline.
The "White Collar" criminal will be joining Channing Tatum and Alex Pettyfer as one of the exotic dancers who works at Xquisite, the adult entertainment venue owned by McConaughey's character.
"Magic Mike" is described as a "Saturday Night Fever" type of tale in which a veteran stripper (Tatum) teaches his young protege (Pettyfer) how to hustle both on and off the stage. The film is inspired by Tatum's own experiences as an exotic dancer in Tampa.
Matt Bomer will next be seen in Andrew Niccols' sci-fi thriller, "In Time," in which he plays a wealthy man who gives Justin Timberlake a chance at living a longer life. The film opens Oct. 28.
"Magic Mike" will be Steven Soderbergh's next film, as the stripping will commence and be caught on camera this fall. Meanwhile, the ever-busy filmmaker has "Contagion" opening on Sept. 9 and "Haywire," co-starring (a completely clothed) Channing Tatum, opening Jan. 20, 2012.
