Screen Gems is preparing for the Battle of the Year and has posted the trailer for the upcoming dance film, which will be released in the fall.
The film tells the story of an American b-boy crew that heads to France to compete at the Battle of the Year International Championships. In the film an international dance crew tournament that attracts all the best teams from around the world, but the Americans haven’t won in fifteen years.
Los Angeles Hip Hop mogul Dante (Laz Alonso) wants to put the country that started the Sport back on top. He enlists his hard-luck friend Blake (Josh Holloway), who was a championship basketball coach, to coach his team. Armed with the theory that the right coach can make any team champions, they assemble a Dream Team of all the best dancers across the country. With only three months until Battle of the Year, Blake has to use every tactic he knows to get twelve talented individuals to come together as a team if they’re going to bring the Trophy back to America where it started.
The film stars Holloway, Alonso, Josh Peck, Caity Lotz and Chris Brown and is directed by Benson Lee.
Battle of the Year opens in theaters on September 13.
