Teddy Riley has officially signed on to play a music director in Paramount’s new film “Hype Nation.” The veteran producer known for his part in creating New Jack Swing and his role in the groups Guy and Blackstreet joins B2K and rumored comedian Whoopi Goldberg for the dance flick according to Variety.
The $25 million film, which begins production in July will follow dance battles between R&B group B2K and South Korean dance crew The Gambler. According to recent reports, most of the film sis expected to be produced in South Korea where The Gambler is a top Korean B-boy team. The team has won numerous dance competitions including the 2004 Battle of the Year in Germany and the 2005 UK Championship.
Alex Calzatti (“I Am Cuba”) will direct the project for Young Lee of Young Film, a Korean American producer who has previously partnered with hip-hop artists in the US.
“Hype Nation” is slated for release worldwide in early 2009.

Are you serious... Gamblers Crew or ANY CREW FROM KOREA would SMOKE THE SHIT out of B2K.
IT DONT MATTER IF ITS BBOYING OR DANCING TO WHATEVER, KOREAN BBOYS ARE FCKIN DOPE.
ite ill quit wit the dik riding but they r that good. B2k aint s***. Omarion should just keep singing.. .cuz thats his thang. leave dancing to the koreans.
if it was rock steady crew, it'll be an epic battle... but cmon B2K?? wtf... no mainstream rapper or r&b singer or whatever can dance like the koreans mang... i mean cmon!? POPPIN HYUN JUN!! you tube that n****... he's the f***in best popper next to sala mang.. even sala gives him props n says poppin hyun jun is better than him.
korea was/is saving hiphop, and hollywood is killin it
You guys do know that they're is already a movie storyline up go check it out.
and the movie is alot different from other movies. it reminds me of how the steriotype thing about fast and furious of when people today think street raceing is mad crazy over in japan.
but in this movie may think the same way about korea other then it is bboying not raceing and bboying over they're is cool
Im not sure if Gamblers Crew or Gamblers is in it (Both 2 different bboy crews)
cause well i saw bboy music or maybe some one who looked like him in the photo.
but either way both gamblers will own b2k cause ive seen em both crews and bboy eagle sebin still can take em out
damn Amphay...yea Gambler would roast them but tone it down with the d*** riding, aint that serious, lol
Paramount is spending $25 million on a ROAST SHOW!
Having B2K battle gamblers crew is like having a POODLE battle a LION.
If they gonna make b2k magically win in the movie, i'd ask for my money back. seriously just have B2k stick to singing and choreo cheerleading.
Yeah your right they are gonna get served. Noone cant do power moves.
One of they're members in the crew is #1 in the world for best power mover. or atleast #2 they won last years r16.
So i wonder how the storylines gonna go. are they gonna fake it to that gambler crew loses on purpose? and b2k win on accident.??? are they gonna fake it to that B2k can breakdance?? i wonder though every single movie i seen always have the hip hop artists win =P i hope it aint like you got served =P and mostly a breaking movie.
If you dont know the difference between Bboying,Popping,Locking etc. then your you are really rude.
i ve known Gamblerz Crew for 2 years and they never did moon walks etc. all they know is breakdanceing. etcZ
im only glad they are gonna speak english, and that they are gonna show how big the bboy scene is in Korea. cause they are #1 atm won every competition in the world they even went to bboy hodown in texas when most of the competition was americans. and Still won The First time and and first time a event was won outside u.s
Gamblers crew wasnt in Missly elliot dumbass. they are a bboying/break crew not popping.
YAY SOUTH KOREA!! thier bboys gorup is really good.. i can't wait for two differnt cultures to collide!
