Step Up 5 will be without Channing Tatum, but fans of the franchise about street dancing will still see some familiar faces, with actors from the many sequels coming together for one big ensemble cast.
Ryan Guzman and Briana Evigan will star in the fifth film, notes HitFix. Guzman previously appeared in Step Up To The Streets, while Evigan made her franchise debut in Step Up: Revolution.
Adam Sevani, Misha Gabriel, Alyson Stoner, Stephen "tWitch" Boss and Mari Koda, all Step Up veterans, will also appear in the new film from Summit Entertainment.
The Hollywood Reporter notes that Stoner, who also appeared in Cheaper by the Dozen, starred in the first Step Up and Step Up 3. Sevani has appeared in three Step Up films: To The Streets, Step Up 3D and Revolution.
Adam Shankman and Jennifer Gibgot are producing through Offspring Entertainment with Matt Smith as executive producer. Trish Sie, an experienced commercials director and choreographer, is directing while John Swetnam penned the script.
There’s no release date set for the film, but shooting starts later this month in Vancouver and Las Vegas. The franchise has grossed $564 million worldwide so far and is best known for introducing Tatum in 2006’s Step Up. Tatum also appeared in the second film.
