Screen Gems, a subsidiary of Sony Pictures, has picked up Benson Lee’s feature film adaptation of Planet B-Boy. Lee mentioned his desire to make Planet B-Boy into a fiction feature film in our interview with him, so it’s exciting to see it actually happening.

The Hollywood Reporter describes the plot as being very similar to the documentary, in that it follows  a b-boy crew trying to “reclaim the world championship by competing against the top international breakdancing teams.”

Here’s what Lee had to say about it in the article:

“B-boying is one of those street dances that has been co-opted in many films but never portrayed authentically,” he said. “I want to present b-boying for what it actually is, which one of the most powerful street dances out there right now. And with so many countries involved, it presents a different kind of story than what we’re normally used to seeing in street dance films.”

Congrats to Benson Lee, we can’t wait to see where this goes.
