After a hiatus of six years, Step Up fans are in for a treat as the sixth movie in the franchise is officially happening. However, there’s a twist. Unlike the previous installments that featured a cast of young dancers, Step Up 6 will revolve around a group of elderly dancers.
The unexpected announcement was made by Adam Shankman, one of the producers of the movie, duing an interview with Entertainment Weekly. According to Shankman, the new movie will be a departure from the previous ones, which focused on young dancers trying to make it in the competitive world of dance.
Instead, Step Up 6 will feature a group of retirees who come together to form a dance crew. The movie will explore their journey as they navigate the challenges of aging while still pursuing their passion for dance.
The idea for the movie came from a viral video of a group of elderly women from New Jersey who formed a dance troupe called the “Golden Girls.” Their video, which features them dancing to a mix of contemporary and classic tunes, went viral and caught the attention of Shankman and his team.
“We saw that video and thought, ‘This is it. This is the next Step Up movie,'” Shankman said.
The movie is still in the early stages of development, so there’s no word yet on who will be cast in the lead roles. However, Shankman hinted that they are looking for established actors who can also dance.
“We want to make sure that the actors we cast are not only great actors but also great dancers,” he said.
The news of Step Up 6 has been met with mixed reactions from fans of the franchise. Some are excited to see a new take on the series, while others are skeptical about the idea of elderly dancers.
Regardless of how fans feel about the new direction of the franchise, it’s clear that Step Up 6 is going to be a departure from the previous movies. Whether it will be a hit with audiences remains to be seen, but it’s certainly a bold move for the franchise.
