21 Jump Street, yes the 80’s TV show that’s being made into a movie, isn’t scheduled for release until March 16 but we get our first look at what we can expect from a much skinnier Jonah Hill and same size Channing Tatum. Directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, and co-starring Dave Franco, Brie Larson and Ice Cube now has a pretty decent red band trailer.
If some of you don’t remember what the TV show was about and still don’t quite know what you just witnessed, here is the official synopsis:
In the action-comedy 21 Jump Street, Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are more than ready to leave their adolescent problems behind. Joining the police force and the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go undercover in a local high school. As they trade in their guns and badges for backpacks, Schmidt and Jenko risk their lives to investigate a violent and dangerous drug ring. But they find that high school is nothing like they left it just a few years earlier – and neither expects that they will have to confront the terror and anxiety of being a teenager again and all the issues they thought they had left behind.
I will say that after watching the red band trailer there is a bit more hope for the film, not to mention there is a cameo by the original 21 jump streeter himself, Johnny Depp. The jokes seem to be there and the action looks to be there as well so maybe this film might deliver. I’m going to stay optimistic about and hope for the best when it hits in March.
