VH1 is making a sequel to Drumline

Responding to the demands of primarily Nick Cannon, VH1 is rebooting Drumline. Nick Cannon will executive produce and co-star in Drumline: A New Beat, a sequel to the 2002 original that put him on the movie map. A New Beat will take place at a fictional New Orleans university and tell the story of Dani Bolton, “an upper-class Brooklyn girl who defies her parents in order to attend a college in Louisiana so she can join—and revitalize—their once-prominent drumline.” The character’s attempt to become the first female drumline section leader will be thwarted by both upperclassmen and, since she’s a woman, her romantic feelings for a fellow member. There’s no word on who Cannon will play, but let’s just assume it’ll be some sort of coach or something.
