“Roofman” is an American biographical crime comedy film directed by Derek Cianfrance starring Channing Tatum, Kirsten Dunst, Ben Mendelsohn, LaKeith Stanfield, Juno Temple, Melonie Diaz, Uzo Aduba, Lily Collias, Jimmy O. Yang, and Peter Dinklage. The film chronicles the exploits of convicted spree robber Jeffrey Manchester, portrayed by Tatum, and the single mother and Toys “R” Us employee he falls for, Leigh Wainscott (played by Dunst). The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its performances, writing, and direction from Cianfrance. Tatum, Dunst, and director/co-writer Cianfrance were all kind enough to spend time speaking with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can listen to or watch below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will be released in theaters on October 10th from Paramount Pictures. Thank you, and enjoy!
