The film, written by Kel Mitchell and Janis Woody, stars Mitchell, Cedric, Tommy Davidson and Gary Sturgis.

It centers around a young championship dancer, Jones, who heads to the big city for his shot at superstardom. On the day he arrives, his uncle is murdered, leaving Jones to avenge his uncle's death vigilante style and alone.

The film began production Tuesday in Los Angeles.

Cedric, whose recent acting credits include "Madagascar," "Talk to Me" and "Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins," will appear in the upcoming "Street Kings" and "Cadillac Records." He is repped by CAA, Rhone and attorneys Nina Shaw and Gordon Bobb.

Mitchell, who will next be seen in John Sayles' "Honeydripper," is repped by the Agency Group.
