So apparently there's a male stripper movie, Magic Mike, which is based on Channing Tatum's work as a male stripper. I can't help but think... really, Hollywood? Channing Tatum? That's the guy you're making a movie about? Not for nothing, but how's this sound.

Michael Fassbender as Christopher Lee. We follow his work in Special Operations during WW2 (where he killed Nazis with knives, c.f. Lord of the Rings), then cover his work at Hammer Films (although Lee's work campaigning on behalf of The Wicker Man should merit a subplot; amazing stuff). Benedict Cumberbatch plays his best friend and fellow horror legend, Peter Cushing. And the financing takes care of itself, as we can just go on tumblr and ask for five dollars from every fangirl who wants to see Fassbender and Cumberbatch play heterosexual life partners.

Huh, *I* would seriously watch that, and I'm not even the target demographic. And you've got an good point with the tumblr fangirls.

Gay men. Magic Mike, Showgirls, Burlesque... if it's about stripping, the target audience is actually gay men.

That movie idea is genius.
