COMING SOON Roofman (10/3/25)
- Thread starter Infamous114
- Start date
Pic is based on the remarkable story of Jeffrey Manchester, an eccentric and charming serial robber who broke into more than 60 McDonald’s overnight via their roofs, then emptied the cash register in the morning after herding staff into freezers. The former U.S. Army Reserve officer became known as the ‘Rooftop Robber’ or ‘Roofman’ and was known for his gentle demeanor and for rarely resorting to violence.
Convicted and imprisoned in 2000, the plucky criminal escaped jail and then evaded capture by holing up for months in a Toys ‘r Us and Circuit City store in North Carolina. He lived off baby food and would ride bicycles for exercise in the toy store. After reportedly leaving his fingerprints on a Catch Me If You Can DVD in the electronics store, he was recaptured and sent back to jail. The movie will focus on Manchester’s months-long odyssey on the lam.
Dunst plays an employee at the Toys ‘R Us who is struggling to make ends meet and to provide for her two girls, Dee and Lindsay. She has no idea that Jeffrey has been secretly watching her from inside the store and slowly fallen for her. When she meets him, she’s charmed and finds him endearing, and the two form a serious bond until she finds out the truth about him – but even that can’t stop her for caring for him.

Title would make you think this is a Jason Statham movie…
Hell even the fucking plot sound like one…
Why isn’t Statham in the lead role?
