"I&amp;#x27;ll never forget the experience of watching Magic Mike the day it hit theaters in 2012. I was in a crowded theater full of women (and, yes, men too) in the middle of Times Square. In fact, it was so packed that several people had to sit on the floor because there weren&amp;#x27;t any seats left. That is a level of commitment I have never seen&amp;amp;#8212;popcorn dust and sticky soda stains on your butt is a serious sacrifice. The best part, however, was that everybody in theater would scream during the stripping sequences as if they were at an actual strip club. It counts as one of my all-time favorite movie-going moments, and I imagine that many of you are as excited as I am to relive it with the Magic Mike sequel. And good news because Warner Bros. announced that it&amp;#x27;s officially, definitely, 100-percent happening! So here&amp;#x27;s all the need-to-know info on the upcoming flick: According to Deadline, the release date is set for July 3, 2015. What&amp;#x27;s more American than seeing a bunch of hot, shirtless guys? The title will reportedly be Magic Mike XXL. When I read that over on The Playlist, I actually laughed out loud. Love it. It&amp;#x27;s slated to start filming this fall. So, of course, we&amp;#x27;ll keep you updated with many pics. Casting hasn&amp;#x27;t been announced yet, but many of the original guys are expected to return. Here&amp;#x27;s hoping that Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey is willing to put his cowboy hat and chaps back on again... It seems Channing Tatum is cowriting the script, at least according to his Instagram: This sequel will be a road-trip movie. In an interview, Channing gave The Hollywood Reporter a few details: &amp;quot;It will be a road-trip movie, and it will essentially be the movie that everyone thought the first one was going to be: crazy and fun and less slice-of-life and less drama. The first one, we had to make not so cheesy and campy; this one we are going to swing for the fences.&amp;quot; And yes, there&amp;#x27;s still a Broadway musical in the works. So there&amp;#x27;s plenty of Magic Mike in your future. Who&amp;#x27;s excited?! What do you hope to see in the sequel (besides shirtless dudes and Matthew McConaughey, of course...)?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
