VH1 has released the first teaser-trailer for Drumline: A New Beat and it is hot!
The sequel to Nick Cannon’s box office hit, Drumline, stars Alexandra Shipp as Danielle (Dani) Bolton an upper-class Brooklyn girl who defies her parents in order to attend Atlanta A&T so she can join – and revitalize – their once-prominent drumline. Dani’s quest to become the first female section leader of the drumline in the school’s history will be hampered by upperclassmen (including her cousin, Tyree); her feelings for fellow band mate and rival, Jayven; and the school’s crosstown rivals.
The made-for-television film also stars Letoya Luckett, Jordan Calloway, Jeff Pierre, Jasmine Burke, Leonard Roberts and Scott Shilstone. Cannon will also reprise his role as Devon Miles but only as a cameo.
Drumline: A New Beat was directed by Bille Woodruff and was shot entirely at Clark Atlanta University this summer. The film, which is being produced in partnership with VH1 and Fox Television Studios, is scheduled to debut this fall.
