21 Jump Street Reviews, Interviews & More
The Hollywood Reporter got a chance to sit down with Doug Belgrad, the President of Columbia pictures, to talk about what's been a good year for them, with some big hits (21 Jump Street), and some modest break-evens (Men in Black 3, The Amazing Spider-Man), and some misfires (That's My Boy)....
This week we’ve got a best picture winner, one of the year’s best comedies, a foreign film Oscar nominee, a near-Bollywood musical, a forgettable horror movie, one of this year’s bigger noisy would-be blockbusters. On the classic front, there's Hitchcock, samurai adventure, and the movie that made dueling banjos something to be slightly scared of. Check it out…
Let's give this opening weekend for The Hunger Games some context. It made $155 Million, which is the highest opening for a non-sequel ever, it had the biggest day of a non-sequel ever, and is the third highest opening weekend of all time. It's three million and change away from The Dark Knight, which was one of the most hyped openings ever....
300 opened the door, and Alice in Wonderland showed the way; March has now become one of the biggest months in cinema. It's where studios can put their titles that could be huge movies, but aren't as battle tested as the latest superhero or sequel. And though March had some misfires this year, The Hunger Games is all...
Though most of its competition was slightly older, 21 Jump Street outperformed expectations this weekend and opened to $35 Million. For those hoping for good news when it comes to John Carter, alas, that ship has sailed. It was a big weekend for Channing Tatum, but also the quiet before The Hunger...
It's the week of release, so it's only fair that you've seen a lot of 21 Jump Street coverage here. Would you like to read my interviews with screenwriter Michael Bacall, stars Rob Riggle, and Brie Larson or the directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord? You can. Or not, up to you. But it's the only new movie this week, and with John Carter's weak...
The very idea of a 21 Jump Street movie is absurd. Why would you remake the very 1980's show about cops with youngish looks infiltrating high schools? It's fitting that directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, and stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum turned the premise into a comedy--but what's unexpected is how funny and charming it is. For those who've felt that Tatum...
Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller came from animation, but - like Frank Tashlin before them - when it comes to comedy, funny is funny. And these guys know funny. 21 Jump Street is their first big live action film – after the success of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs – and it suggests they’re going to be...
Brie Larson’s now at a crossroads in her career. She’s done indie films like Greenberg and Rampart, had a supporting role on The United States of Tara and had a juicy supporting turn in Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. But with 21 Jump Street, she’s now in a big...
Rob Riggle has been building a resume of awesome. He gets to show up, kill for a couple of minutes and make most films he’s in better by his presence. Like screenwriter Michael Bacall, this 21 Jump Street star has been keeping busy, having also just appeared in Big Miracle, The Lorax and Nature...
Few artists get to have a month like screenwriter Michael Bacall is having. He wrote the script for Project X, which is already a minor hit, as well as the screenplay for 21 Jump Street, which premieres this week. We talked to him about these two projects, his work on Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, and...
21 Jump Street hits theaters March 16, and we can tell you that it's hilarious. Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller knocked it out of the park, and Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum make an excellent comic duo. In fact, this is the movie that finally shows that Tatum should be a movie star. We'll have interviews with the writer, directors and co-star Rob Riggle next...
I'll say this for Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum in the 21 Jump Street trailer - it doesn't feel like they're trying to play on one's nostalgia for the 1980's TV show. Director Phil Lord and Chris Miller have made this their own thing why embracing the absurdity of having men in their late twenties playing teens. Check out the green-band trailer...
Emma Stone isn't done filming The Gangster Squad, but already she's signed on to star in another project, this time, a comedy. Twilight star Taylor Lautner has also signed on to a surprising project with the two-time Oscar nominated director Gus Van Sant. We've also got the first trailer for the the 80s TV remake, 21 Jump...
Just in case you haven’t burned out on James Franco (and all other things Franco) quite yet, The AV Club notes that James’ younger brother, Dave Franco, has been cast as a villain in the upcoming 21 Jump Street reboot, cleverly titled 21 Jump Street.

Stop the presses! There's been movement on the big screen adaptation of 21 Jump Street. Months ago we learned that Jonah Hill would co-star and co-write the remake of the popular TV series that kick-started Johnny Depp's career, and now according to Deadline another actor might get offered the lead in the film, Channing Tatum.
