Terrence Howard will join Channing Tatum ("Step Up") in Rogue's untitled street-fighting pic written and directed by Dito Montiel reports Variety.

Howard will play a veteran street-fighting coach who mentors Tatum's character, a young man who had been scraping up a living scalping tickets in New York City.

Montiel wrote the latest draft of the screenplay, and shooting is scheduled to begin in NYC next month.
