The Steven Soderbergh-directed “male stripper” movie Magic Mike moved principal filming from Los Angeles to Tampa Bay, FL, where the movie is set, this week.
They are currently filming a party scene for the movie, which stars Channing Tatum and is loosely based on his experiences as a male stripper in Florida before having success as an actor, on Sunset Beach. Alex Pettyfer, Matthew McConaughey, and Matthew Bomer.
Filming along Sunset beach took place today at Caddy’s On The Beach and on a sand bar near Fred Howard Park in Tarpon Springs today, where they continue filming on Wednesday.
On Friday, the shoot moves to Pinellas Bayway Bridge in south St. Petersburg, where they will shoot a scene with someone jumping off the bridge, and actors driving along the thoroughfare.
On Saturday they will be filming at an undisclosed Pinellas County construction site, before moving to Tampa on Sunday and Monday.

Are they still at Howard Park today? I went this morning and the Ranger said they were done there? ANyone know if they are there today….thanks
I was there this morning too, but the cones were still out and the rangers almost looked like they were setting up cause they had shovels. But I honestly don’t know. I hope they’ll still be there 🙁
i asked the Ranger and he said he thought they were done. he said they finished yesterday. i wonder if I should drive there now…..
Any idea where they’ll be filming in Tampa on Sunday and Monday???

A’s soon a’s I confirm with club owner I’ll fill u guys in

I just drove all around downtown Tampa and Ybor City today for like 2-3 hours, and they weren’t there. I would assume that means they will be in Ybor tomorrow or Monday at the latest. If only we could find out what time…

Hey. I was just in ybor and found base camp for it. Its on 6th ave and 15st however they were just putting up a tent and not very many people. I talked to the security guard who tried to tell me it was a wedding reception and no comment. I finally got it out of her that they havent shot anything yet, but she wouldnt give me a timeframe
