brings the heat, the romance and undeniable dancing talent back to the forefront for a sexy swan song story that ups the ante for the entire franchise.One of the most memorable and steamy moments from the film comes in the form of a water-soaked, on-stage dance number between Channing Tatum's Mike and an incredible dancer named Kylie Shea.This exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette goes behind the scenes of the film's epic dance numbers — including the mind-blowing rain routine — that brought the real magic to the third film.«It's really exciting to be a choreographer in a film like this because dance is one of the key components of the storytelling,» shared Alison Faulk, who helped create the dances alongside fellow choreographer Luke Broadlick.Reflecting on what Tatum brought to the film, Faulk marveled, «He does stuff physically that not a lot of professional dancers could pull off.»«We gave our utter bodies and souls into learning this thing,» Tatum shared. «We had to learn this over months and months and months.»The special behind-the-scenes featurette, «Magic Mike's New Moves,» will be part of the home media release.The movie is available for early Premium Digital Ownership at home for a 48-hour rental via PVOD on participating digital platforms starting Feb.

Todd Gilchrist editor Back in 2012 when Steven Soderbergh directed the first “Magic Mike” based loosely upon star Channing Tatum’s experiences in Tampa, FL, no one could have anticipated the actual empire that the film would inspire: two more films, the latest of which, “Magic Mike’s Last Dance,” opened February 10, a live revue in Vegas, a stage musical in London, and a short-lived reality competition series for HBO Max. What’s interesting is the way that all of those ventures seemed to overlap and inspire one another, leading to “Last Dance” focusing on the staging of a musical in London, in some cases transplanting similar routines from that theatrical production to the silver screen.

Channing Tatum is back as the magic man, and Stephen Soderberg returns to direct Magic Mike’s Last Dance. Written by Reid Carolin, this stripper story has a feminist edge  as it introduces a new character played by Salma Hayek  who’s at the center of the story. Like the other two films, Last Dance has some electric dance numbers (choreographed by Alison Faulk and Luke Broadlick), with Tatum being as charming as ever. But something is missing from this one and its rushed conclusion makes those ending moments appear random and out of place.
