SEOUL — South Korean dance group the Gambler will star in Paramount’s dance movie “Hype Nation,” having teamed up with U.S. music producer and rapper Teddy Riley.

In the $25 million picture being produced by Young Film, Riley plays a music director.

Helmed by Alex Calzatti (”I Am Cuba”), pic follows dance battles between the American R&B group B2K and Korean group the Gambler.

Production begins in the U.S. July 15 with some 40% lensing Stateside and 60% to be shot in South Korea.

Young Film prexy Young Lee, a Korean American producer who has previously partnered with American hip-hop artists, is now casting for a Korean female lead.

South Korea’s DR Music controls Asian rights for the musical content of the film. Company also expects to partner Paramount in the Korean market, though local investors and distribs were not disclosed. Pic will be released worldwide early 2009.

Riley has produced numerous albums by acts including Michael Jackson and Bobby Brown.

Why do you need a Korean female lead? Is there actually going to be a story? Hopefully it’ll be a documentary style film and not a “You Got Served” flick. Also, instead of using the Gamblerz…they should combine a crew again using Born, Darkness, Hong 10, Bruce Lee, The End, Physicx, Ducky, Skim & Wing, Baek, Trickz, and others…but the Gamblerz are a strong choice.

However, I’m not really sure why it should be the Gamblerz vs. B2K…..it doesn’t really make sense. Top Rocks & Power versus music video choreography & style…..I guess?

And there you go….I’ve been asking for something like this for quite some time. Free-styling with Nongak Dancers.
