According to Variety, a third installment in the “I don’t know why it’s so popular” ‘Step-up’ series, is in the works. It’s also going to be in 3-D. The “cleverly thought out” title is supposed to be ‘Step Up 3-D.’
Comingsoon.net gives us this news:
The film will become the latest 3-D live-action film from the studio, with Step Up 2 the Streets director Jon Chu in talks to reprise.
Offspring Entertainment partners Adam Shankman and Jennifer Gibgot will develop the film; the pair produced the first two “Step Up” pics.
Considering the sequel made quite a lot of money, it was inevitable that this was going to happen. However, this is not music to my ears. Don’t get me wrong, I love dance movies, but I love dialogue and plot more. I watched the first film and that was enough for me. I managed to piss off my girlfriends who were VERY into the film.
First, I pointed out the lead girl was from a Canadian horror film named ‘Tamara.’ Then half way into the movie after watching Channing Tatum trying to act black for the millionth time, I turned to my friends and asked, “So, I don’t get it. Are we supposed to find him attractive?” They all gave me a look as if I was stupid to think he wasn’t drop dead sexy. After my constant sighs and bursts of sporadic laughter, my friends were ready to kick my ass. Needless to say I wasn’t invited to see the sequel with them. (Darn!)
That was fine with me, because I was probably going to rip into the sequel way more. I was already sick of seeing the trailers for the past two months, and if I had to hear that “Low” song one more f*cking time, I was going to scream. (I just got it out of my head…ooh..wait…NO…it’s back….F*ck!)
I love 3-D movies, but considering the other 3-D movies slated for release in the next two years, I think I’m going to skip out on this installment.
Your thoughts?
