We’ve been keeping up with the production of ATL 2 and we have new news…they’re back on the set. Peep the pics and get the deets on Ashanti’s new healthy living initiative inside….
It appears ATL 2 is back in business.
We told you the sequel to the hit 2006 coming of age film was likely in the works when pics of the original gang popped up on Instagram back in March. The entire original cast posted pics on their social media accounts from behind-the-scenes of what appeared to be the set of ATL 2.
Soon after, there were conflicting reports on whether the sequelwas actually coming to life on screen or not. TheYBF.com even caught up with actress Lauren London while she was promoting “The Game” back in May where she said the sequel was just a concept and nothing more.
Now, it appears that concept has been given the greenlight to morph into a new storyline about the then teens growing up in the ATL, nine years after it hit the box office.
New pics have popped up of the cast, including, T.I. (Rashad), Lauren London (New New), Evan Ross (Ant), Jackie Long (Esquire), Jason Weaver (Teddy), Albert Daniels (Brooklyn) and the twins, Khadijah Haqq and Malika Haqq (Veda & Star). New dad Evan shared the shots with the caption, "Now thats a great crew !! @troubleman31 @iamlaurenlondon @albeback @jackielong @itsjasonweaver/ cast"
And yes, the original director, Chris Robinson, will helm the follow-up film. He was pictured in the shots back in March.
Who's excited?
