"Planet B-boy" director Benson Lee has been mentioning in appearances that he has been working on creating a fictionalized version of his ground-breaking documentary on b-boying. And here it is: "Battle of the Year", slated for release in January 2013.
It looks pretty formulaic, but potentially will have some exciting dance footage (in 3D, ugh). Chris Brown is no b-boy, and he's a pretty terrible human being, but he's a great dancer and acrobat. And there looks to be some excellent b-boys in the film, including Luigi (Luis Rosado) from Skilz Method crew, b-boy Casper and what looks like Quest Crew members in the trailer.
Anyway, I'm looking more forward to this than the latest "Step Up" movie. And it makes me really want to attend the next "Battle of the Year"!
