Who Runs The World? GIRLS!!
Check out the first look clip for VH1’s new original movie “Drumline: A New Beat” starring Alexandra Shipp (plays Danielle (Dani) Bolton a brilliant drummer whose goal is to become the first female percussion section leader in the famous Atlanta A&T drumline.
Shipp will also star in Lifetime’s new Aaliyah bio pic), Leonard Roberts (reprising his role as Sean Taylor. Sean comes on board as the new A&T Band Director looking to make a mark), Jordan Calloway (plays extremely gifted, yet cocky freshman Jayven Lapierre and Dani’s love interest), LeToya Luckett (plays beautiful, determined Atlanta A&T Dean of Students–Dr. Nia Phillips has former romantic ties to Sean Taylor) and Nick Cannon who is executive producing the movie and reprising his role as Devon Miles in a cameo.
“Drumline: A New Beat” will capture the sound and spirit of the first film while welcoming a whole new class to the Atlanta A & T drumline. The story follows Danielle (Dani) Bolton, an upper class Brooklyn girl who defies her parents in order to attend Atlanta A & T so she can join – and revitalize – their once-prominent drumline. Dani’s quest to become the first female section leader of the drumline in the school’s history will be hampered by upperclassmen (including her cousin, Tyree), her feelings for fellow band mate and rival, Jayven, and the school’s crosstown competitors.
“Drumline: A New Beat” is set to premiere on VH1 this fall.
