BATTLEFIELD AMERICA Trailer Breakdance! I mean Breakdown!

It's so strange, but we absolutely love the Step-Up series. I know. We've mentioned this many, many times. But now our love has spread into almost any street dancing movie. We already know that STEP-UP 4 will be released July 27, but hold the phone for just a second. It seems the people behind another dance film, YOU GOT SERVED, is dropping this little doozy of a film in early summer.

It's called BATTLEFIELD AMERICA, and, from the looks of a trailer, follows two kid crews as they prepare to battle each other. Because how do you differentiate yourself from all other dance movies? Why make it about children of course!

Check out the trailer and the breakdown after the jump.

STEP UP 4 Teaser Trailer Hits...the Streets in Miami

So, here's a little known secret about us here at WDYMS...we have an unabashed love for the STEP UP series. Well, specifically, STEP UP 2: THE STREETS and STEP UP 3D. They're pure dance cheese with horrible, nonsensical stories, bad dialogue, and sub par acting. But yet we always come back, mainly to laugh.

Now the teaser trailer for the fourth installment has hit, and even though it's coming out during a jam packed summer filled with bats, battleships, and G.I. Joes, it looks like they're pulling out all the tricks of the trade to up the level of dancing.




Here's the synopsis:

Emily arrives in Miami with aspirations to become a professional dancer. She sparks with Sean, the leader of a dance crew whose neighborhood is threatened by Emily's father's development plans.

Sounds absurd, but dancing on cars and and in museums? I'm there. Now the one downside is a different director has taken over for this movie, so everyone's favorite from the 2 and 3, Moose, doesn't seem to be featured in this movie. However, here's to holding out hope that he will make at least a cameo appearance.



STEP UP 4 will be released July 27, 2012
