21 Jump Street (movie)

[Brian in Mesa]

From Entertainment Weekly:

Jonah Hill (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Superbad) will write the screenplay for and executive produce Sony's adaptation of "21 Jump Street," the popular '80s show starring Johnny Depp.

The magazine says that it hasn't been decided whether Hill will star in the movie.

In the series, which ran from 1987-1990 on Fox, Depp's Officer Tom Hanson was assigned to an elite squad of young undercover cops - Judy Hoffs (Holly Robinson Peete), Doug Penhall (Peter DeLuise) and Harry Truman Ioki (Dustin Nguyen) - to infiltrate high schools and fight crime.

Neal Moritz (I Am Legend) and series co-creator Stephen J. Cannell will produce.

21 jump street

Search wont find the thread for it, do we not have one? Think it just came out, looks funny as hell.

 

[Covert Rain]

Looks funny but I would rather have seen serious take on this movie. Will say though that if it turns out to be funny and well reviewed I will go and see it.

 

[BigRedRage]

Finally a movie I want to see.

 

[MadCardDisease]

I'm hearing this movie is getting good reviews. Sounds like it might be pretty funny.

 

[MadCardDisease]

I've never seen the old show so I don't know how it relates.

However this was a fun, hilarious movie.

 

[Covert Rain]

We are going to try and go see this over the weekend. The reviews look good.

 

[Gaddabout]

I've never seen the old show so I don't know how it relates.

However this was a fun, hilarious movie.

It was one of the worst shows ever on television, and I watched it religiously every Sunday night.

Johnny Depp gets schooled in street smarts



Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt in high school.

Richard Grieco ruined 21 JS in the way Robert Patrick couldn't replace David Duchovny in X-Files.

 

[AsUdUdE]

Pretty damn funny movie..

One of those movies where if you try to think about the plot, or about reality elements it will drive you crazy (they spent all their time perfecting their jokes, adn did a really good job of it)..

All in all, while not perfect, it is a good movie to turn your brain off, chill and laugh a bit..
