As a member of a historically black Greek letter organization, I must say that “Stomp the Yard” did about as much for Black Greekdom and stepping as Spider Man 3 did for comic books movies. Yeah, I went there. Think I’m being too harsh? I don’t.

On one hand, “Stomp the Yard”, which is basically a dance flick with a black fraternity twist, exposed many people to the aspect of Greek Stepping, without any Greek stepping. I wouldn’t be so annoyed with this except for the fact that now the entire world thinks that what was done in the movie IS Greek stepping. Not at all. However, the movie was able to ride and exploit this to a cool 74 million at the box office… None of which I understand was credited to any of the organizations or their charities. That’s right, we actually do more than slide dramatically across stages on our elbows… We help the community.

Despite my ranting, according to THR.com, “Stomp the Yard 2: Homecoming” has found a director and will go into production soon. Will Packer, from “Obsessed” fame, (if you want to call that fame) will produce through his Rainforest banner. Hardy was an executive producer on the original “Stomp the Yard”.

As far as credentials, he has a lot of producing credits, wrote and directed the features “The Gospel” and “Trois”, and has directed episodes of “Criminal Minds” and “ER.”

Based on the last one, which as far as I know, leaves a bittersweet taste in many NPHC Greeks mouths, I don’t know what to think. But since it’s already green-lighted and most likely will be made… Hopefully they will do better.
