21 Jump Street May Have Picked Up a Director

Catherine Hardwicke (The Director of Twilight) is in early talks with Sony to direct the remake of the TV series, 21 Jump Street, the series which in most ways kick started Johnny Depp's career. The remake has had Jonah Hill's name tied to it for a very long time (presumably a lead character), and the movie is to be produced by Neal H. Moritz.

The film is to be "an action-heavy retelling the original story." If you don't know the origional series it's abouta group of cops that look young enough to do undercover investigations in High Schools and Colleges.

Jonah Hill gives up Transformers 2 for 21 Jump Street, why? Because he's AWESOME!!!

Jonah Hill Explains Transformers Slip and 21 Jump Street PlansJonah Hill Explains Transformers Slip And 21 Jump Street Plans

Given the choice between Transformers 2 and an update of an oldJohnny Depp TV show, it's pretty obvious which option most of us would take. But Jonah Hill is clearly not like the rest of us-- for more than just the obvious reasons-- and recently turned down a sidekick role in the Transformers sequel to executive produce and maybe star in a movie version of the late-80s TV show 21 Jump Street. The choice left us with a lot of questions, and hey look! MTV Movies has some answers! Hill seems to have avoided getting a big head in the wake of Superbad's success, and figured, as far as Transformers went, he had a bit more proving to do in comedies first. “I'm not proven yet,” he told MTV. “I've only been in one movie that people have seen that I've been the lead in so like, um, I could still suck in people's minds, they don't know yet!” Fair enough. He's probably exaggerating how much of an impact he would have on Transformers-- after all, Shia LaBeouf would still actually be the star-- and you figure he would have been playing pretty much the exact same role he did in Superbad, just modified for a PG-13 rating. But still, that's a nice sign of humility from an actor who could be expected to have gone the “Forget y'all, I'm famous!” route by now.

And as for that Johnny Depp retread? Hill may be helping you rest easily when he says “If it doesn't turn out funny, I promise we will not make it.” Now the only question becomes what exactly comes under Jonah Hill's definition of “funny,” (he was in Strange Wilderness, after all) and whether or not the powerful people who will make money off of this movie would actually let him pull the plug. Like Hill himself said in the earlier paragraph, he's not that special yet.

Jonah Hill hasn't really hit a backlash yet, even though he seemed to be everywhere last summer. With an attitude like this one, he may avoid one altogether. I may come to eat these words, but for now at least, he seems to have his head on his shoulders. Even if 21 Jump Street still seems like an insane idea for a movie.

21 jump street will be 'rad'

Jonah Hill (super bad) was quoted saying:

213.jpg

“We have an awesome thing for [Johnny] Depp, if he’ll do it,” Hill enthused. “I don’t know if he will or not, [but] it’s going to be rad!”
regarding his remake of the television series 21 jump street.



Will Danny Elfman do the score to a new broadway musical about Houdini? It sounds far fetched (and awesome!) but it was mentioned in an interview with David Yazbek by http://lohud.com

"He has been announced as the lyricist for a Broadway-bound musical about Harry Houdini - with a book by Spy magazine founder Kurt Anderson and a score by Danny Elfman, to be directed by Jack O'Brien - but he can't confirm that."
