“Stomp The Yard” Sequel

Columbus Short, who starred in the original Sony Screen Gems release, will serve as a producer on the project along with Will Packer (“Obsessed”). Short is also in negotiations to reprise his role as DJ, a master street dancer. The sequel is set to shoot early next month in Atlanta.

Hardy is a partner in Rainforest (“Obsessed,” “This Christmas”) and an exec producer on the comedies “Act Like a Lady Think Like a Man” and “The Black Phantom,” both at Screen Gems. He wrote and directed the features “The Gospel” and “Trois” and has directed episodes of “Criminal Minds” and “ER.”

Short recently appeared in “Whiteout” and “Cadillac Records.” He next stars in the heist thriller “Armored,” which Screen Gems will release in December.
