This is what we call a slow news day. Even for a Sunday. But then a casual glance through The Hollywood Reporter yielded some huge sequel news! The sequel to Stomp the Yard has begun shooting in Atlanta! Since I don’t think I’ve ever seen the first Stomp the Yard, I’m going to assume it’s the tragic story of an ill-fated cement technician who is killed while paving a new schoolyard, thereby prompting the local dance team to “stomp” that beloved yard and win the fancy cheerleading trophy.
And get a load of these funky names! “Collins Pennie … Pooch Hall, Terrence J, Lil Duval, Tika Sumpter, Kiely Alexis Williams, Keith David, rapper David Banner and music artist Teyena Taylor join “So You Think You Can Dance” runner-up Stephen “tWitch” Boss in the cast.” (I love that the rapper has the plainest moniker.) Rob Hardy will direct (he probably is at this very moment, actually) from a script by the guy who penned Feel the Noise. Hey, writing feature-length rock videos is a specific skill.
The title for the upcoming sequel is (spoiler alert) Stomp the Yard 2: Homecoming. And yes, I think they’re shooting for a theatrical release on this one. For more on what’s sure to be the biggest sequel since* Return of the King*, stomp your mouse right here.
