Rodney Rothman to script 21 Jump Street spinoff with an eye to direct
I never would have imagined that we'd ever be talking about a 21 JUMP STREET movie franchise, but here we are. Starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum , the first film wound up being a surprisingly decent comedy flick and was followed by 22 JUMP STREET, the rare sequel which was just as good as the first and took delight in skewering sequels and remakes in general. Sony Pictures...
Exclusive: Top 10 Unbilled Cameos (video)
Every now and then we sit down to watch a movie and are treated to a cameo from an actor who wasn't billed in the credits. These are more popular in comedies, but the unbilled cameo can span several genres and has been done for some time. In Jason Dean's latest JoBlo exclusive, we count down 10 notable unbilled cameos, including appearances by Sean Connery , Johnny Depp , Matt Damon ,...
Jonah Hill thinks the 21 Jump Street/Men in Black crossover won't happen
One of the more interesting tidbits to emerge from the Sony email hack back in 2014 was the revelation that they were considering a crossover between MEN IN BLACK and 21 JUMP STREET. Although it was a crazy albeit potentially interesting idea, I don't know how many people actually expected it to become a reality. Then, somehow, Sony actually began moving forward with the project...
21 Jump Street/Men In Black crossover is coming together at Sony... for real
Back during the time of the Sony hack, which now feels like it happened forever ago, one of the projects that emerged that the studio was considering and looking into possibly developing was a crossover of both the 21 JUMP STREET and MEN IN BLACK franchises. Of course, many read such a ridiculous notion and cast it aside as further proof of a studio in serious creative control willing to...
Phil Lord & Chris Miller will probably only produce 23 Jump Street
Phil Lord and Chris Miller have a few projects in the works, which has led to some wondering if they will be back for 23 JUMP STREET. Miller provided an update on the 22 JUMP STREET follow-up during an interview with Slash Film at the Fox day for the Television Critics Association summer press tour (he was there representing The Last Man on Earth), and Miller says although he and...
Bob's Burgers writers to pen female 21 Jump Street spinoff script
In April we brought you word that Sony had hired Broad Street scribes Lucia Aniello and Paul W. Downs for its female-led 21 JUMP STREET spinoff, however they won't be the only ones working on a script for the project. THR has learned Bob's Burger writers and producers Lizzie and Wendy Molyneux have also been tapped to pen a separate script for the spinoff. The sisters...
Broad City scribes reportedly tapped to write female 21 Jump Street spinoff
Tracking Board is reporting that Sony is developing a female-led 21 JUMP STREET spinoff, and Broad City writers Lucia Aniello and Paul W. Downs have been hired to write the script. Aniello also directed several episodes of the Comedy Central series, and Downs has appeared on it as Abbi's boss, Trey. The duo also wrote and directed the short films Emmy Training Day and Life...
What does Amy Pascal's exit mean for Sony's Spider-Man plans?
It took longer than many expected, but yesterday it was announced Amy Pascal has stepped down from her co-chairman position at Sony. Several embarrassing e-mails from Pascal were leaked during last year's cyber attack on the studio, and although she apologized for them, she has decided to resign her post at Sony.
Variety has a very interesting piece on the future of several...
C'mon, Hollywood: Please don't ruin our 90's nostalgia!
I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing, but I'm a nostalgic bastard. If it came out before the harsh realities of life set in and I was just another happy lad (the 90's), I probably remember and look back on it fondly. Hollywood, however, has a knack for having its way with those memories. I can't imagine, for example, growing up with STAR WARS and standing in line waiting to...
21 Jump Street 2 will take us to college, directors Lord and Miller to return
When the inevitable sequel to 21 JUMP STREET was announced at CinemaCon, there was no confirmation as to who would direct the movie. We also had no idea what the plot of the film would be either aside from the setup at the end of the first film. But, now thanks to producer Neal Moritz, we have an answer to both questions.
First up is that 21 JUMP STREET 2, or whatever it will be...

This was announced yesterday at Sony Picture's presentation at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. The studio also showed off the new logo for the film but unfortunately there aren't any images of it available at this time.
