Lucas Grabeel (“High School Musical”) will headline “Beverly Hills Ninja 2” (first announced by Moviehole in August), according to Variety.

Also set for the sequel, now shooting in Korea, are David Hasselhoff and Taiwanese model-turned-actress Lin Chiling.

The story involves an orphaned boy who wants to be a ninja but becomes involved in a crime in Hollywood while looking for his real parents.

I imagine 'The Hoff' will be playing the villain.

Amazingly, Sony plans to release the film theatrically (in May 2009).
