Meet the Stars: Behind the scenes with the Director of Roofman

The Light caught up with Roofman Director Derek Cianfrance and got the gossip on the making of the true-story crime caper. From what it was like talking to the real Jeffrey Manchester, to pulling pranks on Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst, we bring you the low-down from behind the scenes.

Based on an unbelievable true story, Roofman follows Jeffrey Manchester (Channing Tatum), a former Army Ranger and struggling father who turns to robbing McDonald’s restaurants by cutting holes in their roofs, earning him the nickname: Roofman. After escaping prison, he secretly lives inside a Toys “R” Us for six months, surviving undetected while planning his next move. But when he falls for Leigh (Kirsten Dunst), a divorced mom drawn to his undeniable charm, his double life begins to unravel, setting off a compelling and suspenseful game of cat and mouse as his past closes in.
