It was one of the highest rated cable premieres ever in the US, so it’s little surprise that Disney is lining up a sequel to Camp Rock. Both Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers will be returning for a follow-up that will apparently have a plot borrowed from Shakespeare.
It’s sounding rather Romeo & Juliet, with Lovato and Kevin, Nick and Joe Jonas returning to their beloved Camp Rock, only to discover that some of the students and instructors have ditched it for nearby rival Camp Star. However Camp Rock’s Nate (Nick Jonas) falls for the daughter of Camp Star’s owner. I’d be willing to bet the star-crossed lovers don’t commit suicide at the end though – unless that’s why Camp Rock 2 is subtitled ‘The Final Jam’.
The movie is going into production soon under the direction of Paul Hoen. It’s due to appear as a Disney Channel Original Movie in the US next year and should appear here both on television and DVD soon afterwards.
