The ‘80s. Male strippers. What more could a girl ask for? Variety says director Tony Scott (“Top Gun,” “True Romance”) has signed on to direct a movie about Steve Banerjee, who created the male stripper phenomenon that is the Chippendales. Banerjee started out pumping gas and ended up the uber-wealthy head of the dudes-in-thongs phenomenon. Ultimately, he fell from his lofty male stripper pedestal when he hired a hit man to take out his choreographer over a contract dispute, and then died in jail while awaiting trial. It’s “Footloose” meets “Flashdance” meets “Showgirls” meets “Goodfellas”! I can hardly wait. Here’s hoping Brad Pitt signs on to star as Banerjee. [Variety]

I hate Chippendales! I went to see one of their shows in the WI Dells a while back and one of the dancers bit me! Seriously, he bit me and left teeth marks! That’s not sexy, that’s assault!
But it sounds like this movie could be kinda awesome…

Ducktales already has a movie. I wouldn’t say no to Tailspin though.
