Jennifer Lopez has a Stalker in Trailer for 'The Boy Next Door'

There was a period of time when Jennifer Lopez was the hottest actress around, following well-receive performances in Selena, Out of Sight, The Cell, and more. But those days have been gone for awhile (The Back-Up Plan will do that to ya) and she's been looking for a comeback ever since. Whether her new film, a thriller titled The Boy Next Door, is that movie remains to be seen but it has the pieces to be a sleeper hit.

Produced by the marketing geniuses at Blumhouse and directed by Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious), The Boy Next Door has Lopez as a woman who is stalked by her young neighbor after having a brief fling. Ryan Guzman, star of the last two Step Up movies, plays the stalker with Kristen Chenoweth, Hill Harper, and John Corbett also on board.

Beyonce (Obsessed) and Halle Berry (The Call) have found success with genre films of this type and there's no reason Lopez can't do the same, especially with a cushy release date next year on January 23rd.

New Trailer and Poster for 'Step Up All In' Bust Some Moves

Like a reality show that has been on far too long, the Step Up franchise is turning to the dreaded "all-star edition" to remind their fading audience of...what...the series' glory days? A new trailer has arrived for Step Up All In, which sees some of the prior stars coming together for the first time in an epic dance battle (of course!!!) in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, those supposed glory days included Channing Tatum, who didn't bother to return. I'd say he's starring in other films that don't require him to get half-naked and jam on stage, but Magic Mike puts the kibosh on that idea.

Step Up All In stars Briana Evigan, Ryan Guzman, Adam Sevani, Alyson Stoner, Izabella Miko, and Stephen "Twitch" Boss, opening on July 25th.

'Step Up' Star Ryan Guzman is Rio in 'Jem and the Holograms'

By the time Ryan Guzman had danced his way into Step Up Revolution, Jon M. Chu had vacated the director's chair in favor of producing the long-running franchise. But Chu must have been plenty impressed because he's set to work with Guzman on his live-action version of Jem and the Holograms.

Guzman will be taking on the role of Rio Pacheco, who fans of the trippy 1980s cartoon will remember as the band's road manager. Actually, the situation was more complicated than that as Rio had a crush on Jem even though he was the boyfriend to her civilian identity, Jerrica. One of the running plots of the series was Jerrica hiding her identity as Jem from him, which caused all sorts of problems. I won't lie, part of me saw Taylor Lautner in this role. Yeah, I've given Jem and the Holograms that much thought.

Guzman joins Aubrey Peeples as Jem, Stefanie Scott as Kimber, Hayley Kiyoko as Aja and Aurora Perrineau as Shana. He'll be seen next as part of the returning dance crew in Step Up All In. [THR]

First Trailer for 'Step Up All In' Hits the Floor

The better you can pop 'n lock or spin on your head, the better the world will be. That's pretty much been the point of the Step Up franchise up to this point, especially as the more recent films in the inexplicably long-lived series have taken a more political slant. The "house Channing Tatum built" doesn't have the box office pull it once had, but it's enough to convince practically every former star to return for the fifth film, Step Up All In.

The first trailer for Step Up All In has hit the linoleum, and it's exactly what one might expect, only now it's in Vegas where a huge dance competition (well, duh!) is taking place. Briana Evigan, Ryan Guzman, Adam "Moose"Sevani, the awesome Alyson Stoner, and others are back to wear garish costumes and steal all of Bugaloo Shrimp's (look him up) best dance moves. It's ridiculous as Hell but you know you want to see it.

Directed by Trish Sie, Step Up All In opens in 3D on July 25th.
