Channing Tatum Steps Up For Sequel

Fans who were devastated to find out that Step Up 2 wouldn’t feature Channing Tatum or Jenna Dewan can cheer up now. It appears at least one member of the original cast is putting in an appearance, although it may not be more than a glorified cameo. Apparently Touchstone is more than aware of fans dedication to the beautiful people who headlined their first picture, so Channing Tatum’s Tyler Gage will be in the movie.

In fact, not only is Tatum in the movie, he kicks off the new trailer for the movie, now titled Step Up 2 The Streets (it works as both a sequel number and part of the title – get it?). Before the sequel’s real story or cast members are shown, Tatum gets to break loose with some dance moves himself. After talking to Briana Evigan’s character briefly (thereby passing the proverbial torch), he’s gone, leading to that assumption about a cameo appearance.

The trailer is up over at Apple and is actually worth catching on the big screen. Much like the first film, the picture looks promising for dance numbers and music, although I wouldn’t count on much of a plot. Of course, the first one didn’t have much of a plot either and it was still a lot of fun.
