“Camp Rock” sequel on track for 2010 debut
Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers return to “Camp Rock” but with a new director and writer.
The Associated Press reports that production will begin this summer on the sequel to the top-rated Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM) and premiere next year on the cable network.
In “Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam,” the main characters returning to the camp to find that some of the students and instructors have ditched it for nearby rival Camp Star.
Meaghan Jette Martin, Maria Canals-Barrera, Alyson Stoner and Daniel Fathers (Camp Rock’s head honcho) return for the sequel as well.
“Camp Rock 2″ will add two new cast members. Hip-hop artist Matthew “Mdot” Finley plays the Camp Star hot-shot singer, who challenges Camp Rock to a musical showdown. Chloe Bridges, a 17-year-old classical pianist will play Dana, the daughter of Camp Star’s owner.
Nick Jonas should get more screen time in the sequel as he will have a “Romeo and Juliet” type romance with Dana.
Paul Hoen will direct Camp Rock 2, taking over for Matthew Diamond. Hoen directed the DCOM “Jump In!” starring Corbin Blue and Keke Parker.
Dan Berendsen (“Hannah Montana The Movie”) wrote the “Camp Rock 2″ script with Karin Gist and Regina Hicks, the duo who wrote “Jump In!” with Doreen Spicer. Gist and Hicks also wrote the first “Camp Rock” with Julie Brown and Paul Brown.
I’m definitely excited for another “Camp Rock” movie! Demi and Joe were great in the first movie. And I can’t wait to hear more Camp Rock music! With the plot centering on the inter-camp rivalry, it seems that Tess (Martin) won’t be the villian of the film. I look forward to see how her character will evolve.
Are you excited for “Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam”? Will the sequel be as good as the first movie? Let us know your thoughts!
