STEP UP 2 THE STREETS PRODUCTION RELEASE & CONTEST INFO!

Touchstone Pictures/Summit Entertainment’s STEP UP 2 THE STREETS is in theaters Thursday, February 14, 2008

Principal photography begins July 30 in Baltimore on “Step Up 2 The Streets,” follow-up to the 2006 Touchstone Pictures’/Summit Entertainment sensation “Step Up.” Jon Chu directs this sequel to the coming-of-age dance film starring newcomer Briana Evigan, Robert Hoffman (“You Got Served,” “She's the Man”), Telisha Shaw and Adam G. Sevani. Also starring is singer/model/actress Cassie, who will sing a song featured in the film and on the soundtrack. “Step Up 2 The Streets” returns to the Maryland School of the Arts and follows the story of popular dance student Patrick (Hoffman) and rebellious new student Andie (Evigan).

“Step Up 2 The Streets” reunites producers Patrick Wachsberger and Erik Feig of Summit Entertainment with Adam Shankman and Jennifer Gibgot of Offspring Entertainment, who also produced the original “Step Up.” Meredith Milton, David Nicksay and Anne Fletcher are executive producers. Returning to choreograph the dance-intensive film is Jamal Sims, who will be joined by Hi-Hat (“hip-hop’s high diva of dance”), and Dave Scott (“Stomp the Yard”). The production team also includes Devorah Herbert as the production designer and Max Malkin will be serving as director of photography.
