John Swetnam To Scribe STEP UP 5

The next installment in the wildly popular Step Up franchise is on the way. Summit Entertainment has reportedly tapped screenwriter John Swetnam (Black Sky) to pen the script for the project with Scott Speer returning to direct.

The plan is to reunite the leads from all of the previous films. And you probably remember Magic Mike star Channing Tatum got his start in Hollywood with the dance movie Step Up in 2006. In the follow-up to the smash hit, Step Up 2 the Streets Tatum popped up in a cameo scene. Step Up 3D then hit in 2010 with a tight-knit group of New York City street dancers.

Step Up: Revolution was the fourth of the Step Up movies, a series of unconnected stories that serve as showcases for the kinds of young stars (e.g. Channing met his wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum on the set of Step Up in 2006). However, this will likely mean that dancers like Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, Adam G. ‘Moose’ Sevani, and Mari Koda will appear, though they may not star.
