Bille Woodruff who’s directing credits include the new generation cult classics such as “Honey” and “Beauty Shop” has been tapped by VH1 to direct a sequel to the 2002 classic film “Drumline”. The network is looking at the film as a possible backdoor pilot to a TV series.
Nick who shot to superstardom in the original will serve as an executive producer for this project, titled “Drumline 2: A New Beat,” reports Deadline.com. The story focuses on strong-willed and talented Dani Bolton, who defies her parents, bypassing Spelman College for SEU so she can join the Rolling Red Thunder Drumline.
Fox Television Studios is co-financing the TV film, co-written by Karen Gist and Regina Hicks.
Woodruff’s current film “Addicted” for Lionsgate is slated to be released in October.
