Planet B-Boy film to be turned into a feature by Sony
By Mike Ashworth | May 4, 2009
The 2007 documentary, Planet B-Boy, focused on the international world of B-boying, commonly known in the U.S. as breakdancing.
The documentary followed dancers from several continents, culminating in a competition between crews from 18 nations vying for title of world champion at the annual Battle of the Year finals in Berlin.
In the last couple of days, the director, Benson Lee has announced that Sony Screen Gems have picked the film up and he will be adapting it into a full feature.
The new “B-Boy” will tell the story of a legendary b-boy crew that must return to its roots to reclaim the world championship by competing against the top international breakdancing teams. The take is described as “8 Mile” meets “The Warriors.”
