phil lord and christopher miller, have clearly seen their share of crappy unnecessary sequels, and want to assure us that 22 jump street will follow proudly in that tradition .
if that plot blurb was a little too vague for your tastes, then here' s a little more (non - spoilery) insight on the story for this second round of 21 jump street madness, as provided by producer neal h. moritz (who is backing the sequel through his original film banner, like he did the first installment) :
21 jump street has that anchorman experimental - chaos vibe, with all the hit - and - miss moments that implies. it' s completely lunatic and sort of a mess. it' s also the funniest high - school comedy to come out of hollywood in ages .

jump street
strategy, that project is being developed alongside a long - gestating
ghostbusters
sequel that has anthony and joe russo attached to direct .
but now hill says he thinks the film would be too complicated to make work .
tv has a wealth of classic programming ripe for parody on the big screen and 21 jump street, the deadly serious 1980s tv drama about undercover cops in high school, is worthy of deflating, though no one necessarily wanted such a film. but this time the joke is on the spoof, which strikes its target with blunt, conventional jokes that draw little blood .
rothman will also potentially direct the movie, which will focus on two female undercover cops who go undercover as students, a la the original 21 jump street film (which is, itself, inspired by the 1987 tv series starring johnny depp). rothman most recently wrote the comedy popstar: never stop never stopping, starring andy samberg. he is repped by uta .

was a primo specimen of a tv police procedural with a catchy hook: a team of fresh - faced cops work undercover as high school kids, reporting back to their tough / earnest boss at the address listed above .
there’s still no word yet on whether this 21 jump street spinoff project will follow new characters or will instead turn the spotlight to the existing team of the barely - named undercover officers fugazy and jr. jr. they were played by dakota johnson and rye rye in the 2012 original .
such in - jokey tactics are close to spoof, the lowest form of hollywood recycling. there is definitely something spoofy about 21 jump street, in its derisory attachment to the original property and gags – like the climactic explosions that never come – about the action - movie form. but spoof believes in nothing, and the model of remake set down by the jump street films is too invested in its ideas about film - viewing and the audience to be entirely throwaway. it comes closer to the kind of postmodernism first imported into the mainstream by last action hero and scream. the latter deviously used horror connoisseurship to set up a regressive hall - of - mirrors effect inside the film: us watching the characters watching classic horror films. but the post - jump street remake makes a beeline outwards straight for us .
hey, wait. wasn’t there a fox tv series with johnny depp that did the same shtick back in the 1980s? yeah. but 21 jump street is no cheeseball reboot. producer hill, who came up with the story with screenwriter michael bacall (project x), has too much affection for the tv series to reduce it to a spoof. a priceless cameo from depp, in the role he created and about which my lips are sealed, confirms it. this bracing new take on 21 jump street has a playful spark all its own. it’s a blast .
hanson hated being made fun of for looking a bit too young for his age. so once he left jump street, he decided to go undercover as somebody who looked older .
the most famous jump street alumni is johnny depp, who played officer tom hanson. but the one with the biggest vancouver connection is peter deluise, who played officer doug penhall .
jonah hill and channing tatum will reprise their “jump street” roles as jenko and schmidt, but will smith and tommy lee jones aren’t expected to don the black suits and shades again .
on october 7, 2016, a petition was started in urltoken for greenligth the production of 23 jump street. the petition is directed to many members of the films' staff .
an episode about suicide sounds like the complete opposite of the 21 jump street movies, but go with me here. yeah, the a plot about a student killing himself and hanson’s reaction to it is well intentioned if somewhat heavy handed but it’s the b plot where the episode really shines .
the film version of 21 jump street might as well have ironic quotation marks around its title, since damn near everything else in it does. the proudly goofy take - off on the television show that made johnny depp a reluctant teen idol is less an adaptation than an “adaptation” that delights in highlighting the ridiculous clichés and tropes it lampoons. like the equally irreverent film version of starsky & hutch, 21 jump street is less interested in recycling the conventions of the show it’s ostensibly adapting for the big screen than in exaggerating them for comic effect. rather than pretending that 31 - year - old channing tatum could convincingly pass for a high - school student, for example, the screenplay has characters repeatedly calling tatum out for looking like a middle - aged man. 21 jump street leans heavily on hyper - self - awareness in ways that can be both refreshing and exhausting. for instance, ice cube plays a one - note angry black police captain who openly acknowledges that he’s a stereotype. that’s where the joke begins, and that’s where it ends .
cm: if you look very closely in the background you can see the street sign .
hill wasn' t immediately on board with making a movie based on 21 jump street. but after thinking about the premise, he latched on to the idea of what it would be like to go back to high school and relive that experience from the perspective of having already been through it .
once painted on a billboard featuring his 21 jump street (1987) character because he didn' t like his picture or the message the billboard gave. he was stopped by a security guard who actually let him finish what he was doing when he realized it was johnny' s own face .
( about his character in 21 jump street) hanson is not someone i' d want to have pizza with. i don' t believe in having undercover cops in high school - it' s spying. the only thing i have in common with tom hanson is that we look alike .
another local street sign, for perdido street, can be glimpsed after a key third - act scene in which hill and tatum engage in a high - speed limousine chase through the cbd - - although not all the signs at that location made it into the film .
“yes, it’s very early stages, obviously, ” bobin told cs last year at the alice junket, “but i’ve always loved the ‘men in black’ world. channing [ tatum ] and jonah [ hill ] in ’21 jump street’ are just so funny. those guys and their world makes me laugh every time i think about it. that’s always a good sign for a film. ”
the title and the bare - bones premise aren’t the only elements of the film redolent of pop culture’s recent past. 21 jump street combines the half - forgotten conventions of the mismatched buddy - cop movies of the ’80s with clinton - era gags about political correctness. nick offerman helps establish a knowing, giddily self - referential tone early on by telling hill and tatum he’s assigning them to a program from the ’80s that was discontinued but resurrected because the police department has completely run out of new ideas. 21 jump street is appropriately devoid of novel concepts (the first big, ironic laugh comes when the logo for the production company “original film” appears onscreen), but it’s more consistently amusing and inspired than an adaptation of an ’80s tv show has any right to be .
the show did reasonably well, but when the simpsons became a mega - hit, fox head barry diller decided jump street wasn’t pulling in a big enough audience, and gonged it .
21 jump street was an unexpected surprise. it' s the funniest film of 2012 and amidst all the laughs manages to accurately portray the modern day high school. while the script is smart and the self - referential jokes are welcome, the movie belongs to its stars jonah hill and channing tatum. they are a great comedy duo. this movie alone made me a fan of tatum .
i can watch this film over and over and the laughs keep coming. love it !

doug penhall, one of the series main cops and hanson’s partner, at first brushes the suicide off and cracks jokes. this is all a cover for a secret he’s never revealed to anyone, that his mother killed herself when penhall was six. when he finally divulges this to hanson, we see a core facet of what made 21 jump street so great and what the first film ran with .
