John Legend Starts "Breaking Through" Into Film

Deadline reports that R&B singer John Legend is set to work with "Step Up: All In" and "Into The Storm" writer John Swetnam on the coming-of-age dance drama "Breaking Through".

The project is being described as the first film to combine two different genres - dance movies and found footage.

Swetnam will make his feature film directorial debut on the film with the aim to produce a "documentary-style dance drama for the YouTube generation".

Swetnam, Mike Jackson, Uri Singer, Luis Fragali and Fabio Golombek will produce.

 Casting begins shortly ahead of a summer production start
