Uzo Aduba, LaKeith Stanfield, And More Added To True Crime Film, ‘Roofman’ For Miramax And Paramount

Oscar-nominated director Derek Cianfrance has assembled a stellar cast for Roofman, his first feature since The Light Between Oceans (2016). This true-crime drama stars Channing Tatum, Kirsten Dunst, and Peter Dinklage, joined by Uzo Aduba, Ben Mendelsohn, LaKeith Stanfield, Juno Temple, Melonie Diaz, Molly Price, newcomer Lily Collias, Emory Cohen, and Tony Revolori.

Roofman chronicles the real-life story of Jeffrey Manchester, a former U.S. Army Reserve officer turned notorious thief, known as the “Rooftop Robber.” Manchester’s crime spree began in 1998 and targeted McDonald’s restaurants across the U.S., where he drilled through roofs at night to avoid violent confrontations, executing nearly 60 robberies.

Written by Cianfrance and Kirk Gunn, the film is produced by Jamie Patricof, Lynette Howell Taylor, Alex Orlovsky, and Dylan Sellers, with Miramax holding distribution rights in select territories and Paramount set to release it in the U.S. on October 3, 2025. FilmNation Entertainment managed international sales, while Aperture Media Partners provided financing.
