Inspired by the award-winning documentary, Planet B Boy, the film is about an all-star American b-boy crew training to compete in France at the Battle of the Year (BOTY) International Championships. After a decade of defeat, the crew and their coach must go up against the best and greatest b-boys in the world: the Koreans, the Russians and the French who have dominated the original American dance form for the last 10 years.

Beau Flynn, Tripp Vinson and Amy Lo are producing the project.

- “Super 8″ Los Angeles Premiere

EW.com has posted a great Q&A with Josh regarding his casting and experience on the set and NBC has provided us with a preview of the episode which you can watch below.

“He is a cocky badass who is single but involved with someone,” says Josh. The top-secret mission took Josh from Vancouver to Prague. “Tom gave me great advice on my stunts, which were bigger than anything I’d done on Lost,” he says. “He told me, ‘This is your set. Hang out anytime you want.’ He really put me at ease.”

Leading up to his big PR push with Mr. Cruise, Josh has united with Nature Valley (yes, the granola company) to aid endangered tortoises in Joshua Tree National Park, as well as gain support for the National Parks Conservation Association. “I love outdoors, so the message is right up my alley,” explains Josh, who turns down many more offers than he accepts. Case in point, he says he passed on three television pilots, including a chance to reteam with former costar Michael Emerson (Ben) in Lost creator J.J. Abrams’ Person of Interest for CBS.

But he couldn’t resist the chance to play paintball with pal Chevy Chase in Community‘s May 5 episode as a mystery man named Black Rider who first crosses paths with Annie on campus (the paintball action continues in Part 2 of the finale the following week). “Chevy was a huge Lost fan who used to call me at random times and leave me funny messages,” Josh says. “So when this opportunity came up, I said, ‘Heck yeah!’”

Josh Holloway Joins Nature Valley® and the National Parks Conservation Association to Protect National Parks

To kick-off National Parks Week, Nature Valley® is announcing its continued commitment to the National Parks Project and a partnership with actor Josh Holloway, known for his role as James “Sawyer” Ford in the hit ABC drama “Lost.” The National Parks Project, launched by Nature Valley in April 2010, supports the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) and will contribute up to $500,000 in 2011 to support its work to preserve America’s national parks.

“There’s nothing I love more than being outside and exploring the incredible beauty of our national parks,” said Holloway. “However, the parks are facing huge challenges and that’s why I’m excited to be partnering with Nature Valley to help raise awareness and funds for the preservation of our national parks.”

Restoring Our Parks

There are few places in our country that provide as much beauty and wonder as our national parks, and preserving them for future generations is not an easy task – years of underfunding and natural threats challenge the parks on a daily basis. The national parks are not only important for preserving America’s heritage, but also for maintaining healthy ecosystems.

Consumers can join Nature Valley and NPCA in helping to raise awareness for and appreciation of our national parks by getting outside and enjoying these historical sites during National Parks Week, April 16-24, 2011, when admission is free. To become involved in the National Parks Project, consumers can:

* Visit PreserveTheParks.com to learn more about the project and for information about donating to NPCA.
* Share their national parks photos and stories on the Nature Valley Facebook page and view videos of Josh Holloway sharing his favorite national parks memories.

“At Nature Valley, we believe that our national parks help unite Americans with their love for nature and the outdoors – and we often need to be reminded to slow down and take it all in,” said Scott Baldwin, marketing manager for Nature Valley. “With the support of Josh Holloway, consumers and the NPCA, the National Parks Project will help ensure our national parks can be enjoyed for years to come.”

The National Parks Project

In 2011, Nature Valley will contribute up to $500,000 to the NPCA through the National Parks Project. Nature Valley is making a $400,000 flat donation to the NPCA and will donate up to $100,000 more when consumers enter their UPCs from specially-marked packages online, beginning in June 2011 and ending October 31, 2011. To learn more visit PreserveTheParks.com.

Funds raised in 2011 will focus on various projects that will help preservation efforts in support of the following parks:

* Joshua Tree National Park
* Acadia National Park
* Biscayne National Park
* Grand Teton National Park
* Great Smoky Mountains National Park
* Yellowstone National Park

“There are numerous challenges facing our national parks – ranging from underfunding and inappropriate development to climate change – and we must ensure America’s heritage is protected and preserved for our children and grandchildren to enjoy,” said Tom Kiernan, president of the National Parks Conservation Association. “As we approach the centennial of our national parks, our work with Nature Valley brings us closer to restoring the parks so they continue to inspire future generations for their second century of service.”
