Guilty Pleasure. It’s a term I dislike immensely. Why feel guilty about enjoying anything? If you like some, you like something, end of. Another reason I dislike the term guilty pleasure is because the term, at least in movie-related circles, has become synonymous with any movie that is hailed as worthy of critical discussion. Adam Sandler movies are guilty pleasures. The Fast & Furious franchise is (apparently) considered guilty pleasures by some. F that. I like Adam Sandler’s movies, I like the Fast & Furious movies (hell, I’d even go and say I love those!).

But what does that have to do...

The Step Up franchise is taken to a whole other level in the ensemble Step Up All In, which features characters from the previous movies coming together for a massive dance battle. Fans can see how it was all choreographed in our exclusive featurette for the dance drama, which is currently available on Digital HD ahead of the Blu-ray and DVD release on November 4.

In the next exciting chapter of the international phenomenon, Step Up all-stars from previous installments, such as Alyson Stoner (Step Up and Step Up 3D), Briana Evigan (Step Up 2 the Streets) and Ryan Guzman (Step Up: Revolution), arrive in glittering Las Vegas to battle for a victory that could define their dreams and their careers. These characters all meet thanks to Adam G. Sevani's Moose, who has appeared in Step Up 2 the Streets, Step Up 3D, Step Up: Revolution and Step Up All In.

Mari Koda has made a name for herself as one of the biggest international dance stars with her role in the “Step Up” films. Koda will be making a return to the franchise to reprise her role as Jenny Kido in the upcoming installment to the franchise, “Step Up: All In.” ShockYa was happy to speak with Koda and discuss her acting career, her love of dance, and reuniting with her some of the “Step Up”alums. “Step Up: All In” will be in theaters Aug. 8. “Step Up: All In” is almost out.

Ryan Guzman and Briana Evigan are set to star in Summit’s “Step Up 5,” which Trish Sie will direct from a script by John Swetnam, the studio announced on Tuesday. In addition to Guzman and Evigan, several actors and dancers from the previous installments of “Step Up” are returning to reprise their roles in the fifth film in Summit’s franchise. The full list includes Adam Sevani and Alyson Stoner as Moose and Camille, Misha Gabriel as Eddy, Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss as Jason, Mari Koda as Jenny Kido, Chris Scott as Hair, Luis Rosado as Monster and Chadd Smith as Vladd aka.

The next installment in the wildly popular Step Up franchise is on the way. Summit Entertainment has reportedly tapped screenwriter John Swetnam (Black Sky) to pen the script for the project with Scott Speer returning to direct.

The plan is to reunite the leads from all of the previous films. And you probably remember Magic Mike star Channing Tatum got his start in Hollywood with the dance movie Step Up in 2006. In the follow-up to the smash hit, Step Up 2 the Streets Tatum popped up in a cameo scene. Step Up 3D then hit in 2010 with a tight-knit group of New York City street dancers.

Step Up: Revolution was the fourth of the Step Up movies, a series of unconnected stories that serve as showcases for the kinds of young stars (e.g. Channing met his wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum on the set of Step Up in 2006). However, this will...

While the embarrassing failure of Rock of Ages and the undeniable success of Les Miserables has bloggers and critics pondering the future of movie musicals, there's one musical franchise that is two-stepping its way to the bank over and over. No matter that critics have panned every entry in the Step Up film series, these dance-centered dramas sing at the box office. So following hot on the heels of Step Up Revolution, which pulled in more than $140 million worldwide, Summit Entertainment is prepping for Step Up 5. Deadline reports up-and-coming screenwriter John Swetnam has been hired to pen the fifth entry in the franchise, which will reportedly (and predictably) end with a big dance-off wherein stars of the previous films can make cameos. This will likely mean that beloved dancers like Stephen 'tWitch' Boss, Adam G. 'Moose' Sevani, and Mari Koda will appear, though they may not star. Less likely though...
