It has been announced by Summit Entertainment that John Swetnam, writer of the upcoming Black Sky, will pen the script for Step Up 5. Step Up: Revolution director Scott Speer is set to direct once again while Jennifer Gibgot and Adam Shankman (Rock of Ages) will also return as producers. The plan is to have characters from the previous movies show up in cameos but there is no word on anyone specific returning just yet.
While the Step Up franchise has been altogether panned by critics, they have managed to do pretty good business at the box office. Having seen all of these, and only marginally liking the third entry, I can safely say that this is a franchise that needs to be put to rest.
