Will Packer Moves Forward With Stomp The Yard 2

We just discovered that Director and Producer Will Packer has begun pre-production on his new film Stomp The Yard 2, and the film starts shooting in October.

In this sequel we also discovered that the cast from the previous film- Columbus Short, Meagan Good, Ne-Yo, Brian White, Laz Alonso and Darrin Henson- are all expected to participate (along with a couple of new additions and a new story line) but featured as cameos in this film.

No word yet on what this film will be about, but we will have that info soon.

Missed the original film? Stomp The Yard, which debuted in 2007, was initially about a troubled 19-year-old street dancer from Los Angeles, who after the death of his younger brother, is able to bypass juvenile hall by enrolling in the historically black college named Truth University in Atlanta, Georgia. But his efforts to get an education and woo the girl he likes are sidelined when he is courted by the top two campus fraternities, both of which want and need his fierce street-style dance moves to win the highly coveted national step show competition.
