I just found out that Warner Bros. has commissioned Malcom Spellman (Game writer of The Sopranos: Road to Respect) to write a feature based on the classic TV dance show Soul Train. We will be seeing Host, Don Cornelius again as helps produce the film. Variety says the film version will be set in the 1980s and the story will follow a man with a talent for "POPPING", a specific street dance that us Generation Y babes got nothing on...
This TV show was on for 35 years! How will Spellman compete with the other dance films coming out?
“All of the hip-hop street dances you see today were born during that time period and were first seen on that show, and I remember doing all of them when I was a kid.” - Spellman
I hear that there are a bunch of Dance Movies on the rise or in production. Footloose (2010), Fame (2009) and I hear that there is talk of remaking Dirty Dancing! I bet there will be something this new film will have that will stand out amongst the rest of these ther dance films: THE SOUNDTRACK! Baby Boomers and Generation X babes will love the sounds from their past being brought back to life! Soul Train was always known for their fantastic selection of music and their scantily clad dancers... bring back the 80s FUNK Spellman!!
Hmm... my mom loved Sould Train, so I'm hoping this film will live up to her expectations.
