Rejoice! 'Stomp the Yard 2' is Shooting Right Now!

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.

1. Wow...no need to trash a movie you haven't even seen! No, it wasn't Oscar material and was formulaic...but also enjoyable. The stepping was pretty cool. Do you know what that is Scott??

2. Well, I have seen Stomp the Yard, and I shall spend the rest of the day morning this news... Though I think your plot would have been more fun :)

3. Wow Scott. You need to get a life. Don't trash a movie that you have not seen. You probably would not understand it anyway.

4. Whats not to understand? Guy dances, other guy dies, guy gets sent away, dances, wins at the end. THE END.

6. This post is out of line.

Stomp the Yard was a fun little flick that made 61 million domestic. It's funny how a professional movie writer didn't even hear about it (or thinks it's funny to pretend he didn't). I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Scott Weinberg wasn't the movie's target audience, but making fun of the names of the cast members seems a little junior high for a professional movie blogger.

12. Black movies? You're an idiot. It's not like we're talking Citizen Kane, Scott was right. The second one probably won't be any better than the first. Just because it made $61 million means it has a good story and well developed characters? People will pay for anything these days.
