Jonah Hill Says 21 Jump Street Movie is a Comedy

Written by Nix May 18, 2008 Posted In » 21 Jump Street (2012) Movie

Yup. It’s true. You heard it here from the horse’s mouth itself. Jonah Hill, who Hollywood has unfathomably given an entire movie franchise to develop and, probably, star/direct/produce/whatever, has told MTV that, yes indeedy, he’s making a comedic version of “21 Jump Street” the TV show for the big screen. But, he cautions, it’s not going to be “slapstick”. And he’s got a role for Depp too, if Depp is so inclined.

And here you thought there was even a remote possibility that a “21 Jump Street” movie could possibly be good. Kiss that notion goodbye, kids. It’s gonna suck. And it’s gonna suck HARD. Take note: this is the same crap that Seth Rogen is approaching the Green Hornet movie with.

Best quote from the video: “I wouldn’t wanna do it if it was gonna suck.”

By the way, isn’t this guy too old and too male to be using “like” more than once in a sentence? Seriously, like, what’s up with that? Like.

    I can put any amount of money on Depp not doing this movie. He hated the show in the 8′s, what makes you think he’ll want to do a movie about it now? I must say though, it would be alot of fun to see Johnny and Peter together in a movie now, they were so good together in the show.However, I just watched the video after writting this and that guy is a douche, point blank. Somthings telling me that this movie wont be made, and as much as I loved the show, I think thats for the best because it WILL be crap.
