STEP UP: Channing Tatum Dances His Way into an Unexpected Film Franchise
Producer Erik Feig reflects on the making of Step Up, the movie that launched one of the most iconic dance/romance film franchises in history. Inspired by classics like Footloose and Save the Last Dance, Erik set out to flip the script by creating a dance movie from a male perspective, transforming the genre from a "chick flick" into a compelling couple’s story. The game-changing decision to cast a fresh-faced Channing Tatum for his breakout role was just the beginning. What started as a small-budget, nearly straight-to-DVD film quickly turned into an international sensation, thanks in large part to its global appeal and dance sequences that continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
