Roofman is an upcoming American crime drama film directed by Derek Cianfrance and starring Channing Tatum, Kirsten Dunst, Ben Mendelsohn, Peter Dinklage, Uzo Aduba, Juno Temple, Emory Cohen and LaKeith Stanfield.
The film is a biopic of the fugitive Jeffrey Manchester, a former United States Army Reserve officer, known colloquially as Roofman due to his propensity to steal from branches of McDonald's after entering their premises via the roof and evaded capture from police by hiding in the roof of a Toys "R" Us store.

Dylan Sellers and Chris Parker will produce through the Limelight production company alongside Jamie Patricof and Lynette Howell Taylor.
