Jonah Hill Working on 21 Jump Street
The breakout star of Superbad and Judd Apatow acolyte, Jonah Hill, is in negotiations to develop a movie adaptation of the popular ’80s TV show 21 Jump Street, says Entertainment Weekly.
It hasn’t been decided whether Hill will actually star in the movie, but Sony confirms that he’ll work on the screenplay and serve as an executive producer. Other details, like the tone or direction of the flick, are non-existent at this point, but with Hill writing, it wouldn’t be crazy to think the movie will play more for laughs rather than drama.
The series, which ran from 1987 to 1991 on Fox, starred Johnny Depp and centered on a group of young cops whose youthful appearance allowed them to work undercover in high schools and colleges and search out troubled kids.
