Sony Pictures has released the trailer to ‘Battle of the Year,’ starring Josh Holloway, Laz Alonso, Josh Peck, Caity Lotz, and Chris Brown as Rooster.

With compelling characters and vibrant dance sequences, BATTLE OF THE YEAR is set in the international world of B-boying – the urban dance more commonly known as “breakdancing.”

Unforgettable images frame the intimate stories of an all-star American dance crew who, with the help of their tough coach (Josh Holloway), struggle to reach their dreams despite being misunderstood by society and even their own families. Their lives collide in France where their skills are put to the ultimate test: the “Battle of the Year” finals, with crews from 18 nations vying for the title of World Champion.

The film features electrifying dance performances and astonishing displays of power and grace, showing how a street dance from New York has evolved into an inspiring art form for a new generation around the world.

Directed by Benson Lee from a script written by Brin Hill and Chris Parker, the film will be in theaters January 25, 2013. Think Like A Man‘s Will Packer serves as one of the executive producers.
