Help Caption This Photo of Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer and Matthew McConaughey Stripping in 'Magic Mike'

One of the most anticipated titles among circles who enjoy male strippers and movies is the upcoming Steven Soderbergh drama Magic Mike -- a movie about male strippers that allegedly lured the filmmaker away from early retirement. At long last, a first image from the project has surfaced featuring Alex Pettyfer, Matthew McConaughey and Channing Tatum striking a pose onstage for what promises to be a very patriotic (and erotic) dance number. You know what this means, fellow Movieliners -- grab the nearest captioning pen and stack of singles.

Where to even begin? McConaughey appears in classic McConaughey fashion (shirtless). Tatum appears in classic G.I. Joe franchise-star fashion (in camouflage).

For further captioning reference, the official premise of Magic Mike is as follows: "Veteran male stripper Magic Mike (Tatum) teaches a new male stripper (Pettyfer) about the occupation. They work at the club Xquisite, which is owned by the former male stripper Dallas (McConaughey)."

The project is inspired by Tatum's experiences as a teenage stripper in Florida. Joe Manganiello (also pictured above) co-stars as Big Dick Richie. Magic Mike is scheduled for a June 29, 2012, release. Let the captioning begin!
