The film will star Chosen Jacobs, Lexi Underwood, four-time NBA Champion John Salley, and more.

She says the movie will feature "incredible music and the gravity-defying choreography." Earlier this month, a colourful Disney+ movie set went up in Toronto's High Park for filming — whether it was for Sneakerella or not is yet to be confirmed. The remake is set to hit theatres sometime in 2021.
