'Step Up 3-D' Denotes Third Stepping Event, Third Dimension
A couple days ago, writing up the weekend box office report, I made a pretty weak joke that the success of Step Up 2 the Streets would spawn a third film in the series: Step Up 2 the Streets 2: The Str33ts. Reality has trumped me again:
Disney will proceed with a third installment of its hit dance franchise "Step Up," tentatively titled "Step Up 3-D."Pic will become the latest 3-D live-action film from the Mouse House, with "Step Up 2 the Streets" director Jon Chu in talks to reprise.
Even if it's tentative, I'm pretty resentful they managed to come up with a stupider title than me. Mine is more absurd, but Step Up 3-D definitely wins in sheer, laughable triteness. I thought Step Up 2 the Street was stupid, but calling the third film in the saga "3-D" takes the cake. It's equivalent of adding an "-er" suffix to a title's adverb (Step Upper?), and just slightly less ridiculous than when someone says "[Whatever] 2: Electric Boogaloo". So I really hope they keep the title.
