We’re
so excited that we can finally start chatting about Disney Channel’s
hot new summer flick,
Let
It Shine.
The
stars were snapped during the Disney
ABC Television Group
Television
Critics Association
Winter Press Tour this
week. And, can we just say, we’re loving 13-year-old Coco
Jones’ pink fringed top!
Coco
(yea, you might remember her as a finalist in Radio
Disney’s N.B.T.
is taking on the role of Roxie Andrews, a
fast-rising music star, in this modern day story inspired by the
ghostwritten love letters of Cyrano de Bergerac.
Set in
the world of rap, hip-hop and gospel music, the film follows shy guy
Cyrus DeBarge (played by Tyler
James Williams) and his
best bud Kris McDuffy (played by Trevor
Jackson) as they reunite
with childhood friend Roxie. When Roxie’s music label announces a
songwriting contest at a local Atlanta club, Cyrus decides it’s
time to come clean about his feelings for the singing sensation—and
does it through a contest-winning rhyme. The prob? He writes it under
the name “Truth,” which mistakenly <eek!> gets attributed
to Kris.
Will
Cyrus finally find the confidence to overcome his self-doubt and
reveal the actual
truth? Well, we’ll have to wait until the movie’s premiere this
June.
’Til
then, be sure to check back for loads more exclusive Let
It Shine treats. Yep, we
got a chance to hang with the cast on the flick’s super-cool set.
And, trust us, you’re not gonna want to miss this!
Are you
pumped to see Let It Shine
when it premieres on the Disney Channel this June? Blog about it,
babes.
