“24 Jump Street” is in the works, and stars Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum and Ice Cube are in talks to return for the third installment in the crime comedy franchise.
Rodney Rothman will direct the film and wrote the script with Jonah Hill and Meghan Malloy. Also returning are producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller — who helmed the first two films, 2012’s “21 Jump Street” and 2014’s “22 Jump Street” — and Neal H. Moritz.
A third installment of the successful “Jump Street” film franchise has been in development at Sony for more than a decade. Tatum once described the script for the since-scrapped “23 Jump Street” as “the best script that I’ve ever read for a third movie.” (That film was designed as a crossover with Sony’s blockbuster “Men in Black” franchise.)
At present, Tatum only has an offer to return for “24 Jump Street”; negotiations are expected.
More to come…
