Looks like Columbia Pictures are sticking to the tried and tested formula (one chiseled jaw and one overweight cop) for their remake of the 80s series 21 Jump Street. Apparently Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill will be playing brand new characters but we can’t help but compare them with the Johnny Depp and Peter DeLuise juxtaposition in the original show.
The HollyWood Reporter tells us that Tatum will also join Hill as an executive producer on 21 Jump Street, which will be directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Hill wrote the treatment with Michael Bacall scripting the screenplay, all based on the hit show which featured a group of young looking cops who infiltrated schools as students in order to stop crime.
Now that the good looking cop’s been cast and if the series is anything to go by, they’ll be on the chase for the super smart female member of the team next. Who do you think is ready to go under cover for Hill and Tatum? Let us know below.
