Time to play catchup with a couple of release dates that surfaced over the weekend.  First up, Summit will release Step Up 4 on August 10, 2012, possibly under the title Step Up 4Ever 3D---if we're lucky.  The release date comes with a new synopsis.  In between the dancing: "Emily, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, arrives in Miami with aspirations of becoming a professional dancer, but soon falls in love with Sean, a young man who leads a dance crew in elaborate, cutting-edge flash mobs."  Kathryn McCormick, Ryan Guzman, and Stephen Boss star.Next, Box Office Mojo lists October 19, 2012 for the release of the feature directorial debut of The Sopranos creator David Chase.  The story revolves around a group of friends who form a band in the 1960s---the film was using the band name, Twylight Zones, as the working title.  It was never meant to last though, since that reads more sci-fi than period rock drama.  For the time being, the movie is untitled.  Given the pre-Halloween date, I do hold out some hope "Twylight Zones" will play an important role in the marketing.  John Magaro, Jack Huston, Will Brill, and James Gandolfini star; Steven Van Zandt served as music supervisor.Hit the jump for the full Step Up 4 synopsis.step-up-4ever-3d-posterBoth movies face comedies on their respective 2012 dates.  Rivals opens alongside Step Up 4 on August 10; Chase's film shares October 19 with The Big Wedding.Synopsis via Coming Soon:
