Variety reports that Gambler, one of South Korea’s most famous dance crews, will star in Paramount’s Hype Nation. Gambler recently finished second at the World Free Style Session held in LA. As for the movie, the plot revolves around a dance battle between B2K and Gambler. Teddy Riley is involved, though the extent is unknown.

B2K ehh? I didn’t realize they were still around. Last news I heard was about their former manager’s molestation of group members. And Teddy Riley? He’s trying to stave off bankruptcy. So, should the Gambler crew really involve themselves with these guys?

The whole dance crew thing is bubbling up to the mainstream. Obviously with MTV’s “America’s Best Dance Crew”, Jabbawockeez, Kaba Modern. Also, the release of the film, Plant B-Boy. B-Boying is international and very integrated. That’s a great byproduct. Every country has a crew who represents. Except China. I haven’t heard of any great crew from China. Which is surprising. Considering what great gymnasts they are.
