one “ 21 jump street ” spinoff isn’t cool . you know what’s cool ? two “21 jump street” spinoffs . in addition to “mib 23 , ” which will see a crossover between “men in black” and the comedy / action series whose first two films were led by jonah hill and channing tatum , sony is also developing a female spinoff about two undercover cops .

question is , whether it ' s lord and miller or somebody ( s ) else who direct , what else is there to do with the jump street property ? 21 jump street the movie is an enjoyable buddy - cop movie full of clever cultural commentary and self - aware humor , while 22 jump street is practically a self - conscious spoof of itself ( and the industry that gave rise to it ) . at this stage , it doesn ' t feel like 23 jump street has the potential to allow for similar genuine creativity and artistic expression - just more $ $ $ .

it was inevitable that one of hollywood ' s many recent reboots would eventually attain sentience . hence the arrival of 21 jump street , a film that not only knows it ' s a remake , but knows how absurd it has to be to succeed as a remake .
more than 20 years after the show ran its course , 21 jump street is best remembered for launching the career of johnny depp and for giving the fledgling fox network a much - needed buzzed - about show .

it sounds too crazy to be real , but it’s actually coming true . the crossover between 21 jump street and men in black , which was first revealed by the sony hack in 2014 , is now going forward as a possible film . and they found a perfect director .
would any of this matter if 21 jump street wasn’t funny ? perhaps , but it is ; frequently and guffaw - inducingly so . the film makes high school comedy feel young again : considering its stars are in their late 20s and early 30s , that’s no mean feat .
' 22 jump street ' tries to catch a meta - wave on the shoulders of its stars , jonah hill and channing tatum .
oren uziel , writer of 22 jump street , will write this film , with phil lord and christopher miller ( curiously , he also wrote a script for the possible men in black 4 ) .
21 jump street is a movie starring jonah hill , channing tatum , and ice cube . a pair of underachieving cops are sent back to a local high school to blend in and bring down a synthetic drug ring .

2007 - ranked # 21 on ew ' s the 50 smartest people in hollywood .
. . . then again , both of the jump street movies produced so far were able to surpass expectations and become something quite special , so maybe 23 jump street could manage likewise . if lord and miller end up deciding to direct the film , then we ' ll have all the more reason to not bet against it turning out decent .
the surprisingly perceptive , uproariously funny high school comedy 21 jump street may be the first film to fully acknowledge , and even savour , the disconnect . here , adolescence is an alien landscape that makes sense only to the natives , and nostalgic adult trespassers will come hopelessly , hilariously , unstuck .
a minor yet amusing piece of news regarding the 21 jump street sequel has been announced . embedded in a press release that announced a remake of the french film a prophet produced by neal moritz , sony has revealed that the title of the jump street sequel will be , appropriately enough , 22 jump street . not too much is known about the follow - up as of now , but directors phil lord and chris miller are expected to return , and the story will find channing tatum and jonah hill ’s characters infiltrating a college campus . moreover , moritz previously told us that ice cube will indeed be reprising his fantastic role as captain dickson . 22 jump street will open in theaters on june 13 , 2014 .
as unlikely as it may seem , that “men in black” / ”21 jump street” crossover is really happening . how do we know ? because sony pictures announced its tentative title tuesday at cinemacon in las vegas . and it’s perfect .

in fact , if there ' s a word to describe the aesthetic of their film ' s settings , lord said , it would be
generic
- - right down the standard helvetica font used on the street signs that replaced most of the local street signs in the film .
but , if “21 jump street” sparks a sequel , greico , who after joining the show in season 3 , left ahead of season 4 for the spinoff show , “booker , ” said he’ll likely be asked to cameo at that time .
today this cheesy bit of video seems a bit ridiculous , as ‘80s as big hair and synth pop . but hey , that pretty much sums up 21 jump street , one of the first tv series to put vancouver on the map .
mib 23 - - the crossover between sony ' s 21 jump street action - comedy franchise and their men in black sci - fi / comedy franchise - - is still happening , and now it ' s got an official title treatment .
however , after jonah hill mentioned during an interview with hollywoodreporter that mib 23 will not likely happen , chances of make 23 jump street were high .
in developing the 21 jump street movie , directors chris miller and phil lord rewatched the first four seasons of the series while working on the story . the influences from that marathon are shown in both of the 21 jump stree t films and we at den of geek have picked out just a few episodes that made the biggest impact . we’ve tried to avoid obvious choices , like any of the various prom episodes simply because there was a prom in the first movie . these episode choices reflect how the people behind the films got exactly what made 21 jump street great and was able to translate that across genre lines , from drama to action comedy .
21 jump street is based on the television series , which focused on young cops with youthful appearances who work undercover in high schools and colleges . the film is being directed by phil lord and christopher miller , from a screenplay by michael bacall based on a treatment from hill and bacall . neal h . moritz will produce the film with stephen j . cannell , who will receive posthumous credit . the film is set to be released on march 16 , 2012 .
21 jump street is the headquarters for a squad of police officers who specialize in investigations relating to young people . each of the jump st . personnel was selected for their ability to pass for high school or college students , allowing them to operate undercover in areas where it is difficult for regular police officers to blend in unnoticed .
this year ' s 22 jump street riffs numerous times on the idea of the continued franchising of the jump street brand , before it culminates in an end credits sequence that ( as our kofi outlaw put it in his review of the sequel )
all but confirms the fact that the filmmakers , too , know that the jump street well has been drained dry after two runs .
apparently , the top executives at sony / columbia pictures didn ' t stay for the credits when they saw the film ( and instead paid attention to the movie ' s $ 320 million worldwide gross on a $ 50 million budget ) , because now 23 jump street is moving forward . . . for real .
according with internet movie database , all the mock sequels that appeared at the end of 22 jump street , are canon and will be explained in this movie .
uziel will tackle men in black 4 after he works on 21 jump street 2 , which sony already has dated for a june 6 , 2014 , release . jonah hill and channing tatum are back as stars as are phil lord and chris miller as directors .
perhaps no new orleans filming location figures more prominently in the film than the historic st . james ame church on north roman street . it plays the role of
jump street chapel ,
a derelict church that doubles as the secret headquarters for the police unit to which hill and tatum ' s characters are assigned .
the “jump street” franchise has been a bright spot for sony , which has seen solid returns from the series . the first “jump street” movie grossed just over $ 200 million worldwide but the sequel took the franchise to the next level , grossing $ 331 million worldwide — an exceptional haul for an r - rated action - comedy .
if you’re wondering why hollywood often has multiple variations of a project in development , here’s why — when one gets stalled , you can just pivot to another . and that’s just sony are doing in their efforts to keep the “ 21 jump street ” brand going .
los angeles , ca ( may 18 , 2011 ) - mgm will become a financial partner on the upcoming sony pictures entertainment film 21 jump street , it was announced today by mgm co - chairmen and chief executive officers gary barber and roger birnbaum and sony pictures chairman and ceo michael lynton and co - chairman amy pascal . sony will handle marketing and distribution , while mgm will handle select international television licensing for the film .

the future of sony pictures’ 21 jump street - iverse appears to be expanding . a rumor has broken today via the tracking board that suggests that sony has brought aboard “broad city” writers lucia aniello and paul downs to draft a female - driven 21 jump street spinoff . there’s no word yet , however , on whether the project will follow new characters or will instead turn the spotlight to the existing team of the barely - named undercover officers fugazy and jr . jr . , played by dakota johnson and rye rye in the 2012 original .
“21 jump street , the movie” is a lot different from the tv series and is just different times i guess , that you had to go that way and you couldn’t just do it a straight - up serious , guys dressing - up kind of film now . [ chuckle ] you needed to shake it up in other words , i guess ?
21 jump street throws way more balls in the air than it can comfortably juggle . the car chases have a frantic michael bay whoosh , but the kick comes in watching schmidt and jenko steal weed from a police evidence locker to throw a stoner house party and then , to prove they’re not narcs , get high on a drug that could literally blow their minds . are we always still in high school in our heads ? 21 jump street thinks so . and hill and tatum are just the crazy - ass comedy team to prove it .
no , for real . a crossover movie joining men in black and 21 jump street is really happening . sony put it in its huge cinemacon 2016 presentation to theater owners and , to make it seem even more real , even gave it a title : mib 23 .
phil lord and christopher miller , have clearly seen their share of crappy unnecessary sequels , and want to assure us that 22 jump street will follow proudly in that tradition .
if that plot blurb was a little too vague for your tastes , then here ' s a little more ( non - spoilery ) insight on the story for this second round of 21 jump street madness , as provided by producer neal h . moritz ( who is backing the sequel through his original film banner , like he did the first installment ) :
21 jump street has that anchorman experimental - chaos vibe , with all the hit - and - miss moments that implies . it ' s completely lunatic and sort of a mess . it ' s also the funniest high - school comedy to come out of hollywood in ages .
reboots are a roll of the dice , especially when it comes to modern cinematic versions of retro cult television series . last year brought us two projects of that ilk , between director tim burton ' s dark shadows and chris lord and phil miller ' s 21 jump street .

with all the talk of a
21 jump street
sequel , it ' s not out of the realm of possibility that the city might not have seen the last of hill , tatum and company - - at least not if it ' s up to lord and miller .
focusing on a team of blessedly young - looking police officers who posed as students to bust crimes in high school , college and any other teenage hot spot , the & apos ; 21 jump street & apos ; cast became rather popular - - especially one guy named johnny depp .
as with the
jump street
strategy , that project is being developed alongside a long - gestating
ghostbusters
sequel that has anthony and joe russo attached to direct .
but now hill says he thinks the film would be too complicated to make work .
tv has a wealth of classic programming ripe for parody on the big screen and 21 jump street , the deadly serious 1980s tv drama about undercover cops in high school , is worthy of deflating , though no one necessarily wanted such a film . but this time the joke is on the spoof , which strikes its target with blunt , conventional jokes that draw little blood .
rothman will also potentially direct the movie , which will focus on two female undercover cops who go undercover as students , a la the original 21 jump street film ( which is , itself , inspired by the 1987 tv series starring johnny depp ) . rothman most recently wrote the comedy popstar : never stop never stopping , starring andy samberg . he is repped by uta .

was a primo specimen of a tv police procedural with a catchy hook : a team of fresh - faced cops work undercover as high school kids , reporting back to their tough / earnest boss at the address listed above .
there’s still no word yet on whether this 21 jump street spinoff project will follow new characters or will instead turn the spotlight to the existing team of the barely - named undercover officers fugazy and jr . jr . they were played by dakota johnson and rye rye in the 2012 original .
such in - jokey tactics are close to spoof , the lowest form of hollywood recycling . there is definitely something spoofy about 21 jump street , in its derisory attachment to the original property and gags – like the climactic explosions that never come – about the action - movie form . but spoof believes in nothing , and the model of remake set down by the jump street films is too invested in its ideas about film - viewing and the audience to be entirely throwaway . it comes closer to the kind of postmodernism first imported into the mainstream by last action hero and scream . the latter deviously used horror connoisseurship to set up a regressive hall - of - mirrors effect inside the film : us watching the characters watching classic horror films . but the post - jump street remake makes a beeline outwards straight for us .
hey , wait . wasn’t there a fox tv series with johnny depp that did the same shtick back in the 1980s ? yeah . but 21 jump street is no cheeseball reboot . producer hill , who came up with the story with screenwriter michael bacall ( project x ) , has too much affection for the tv series to reduce it to a spoof . a priceless cameo from depp , in the role he created and about which my lips are sealed , confirms it . this bracing new take on 21 jump street has a playful spark all its own . it’s a blast .
hanson hated being made fun of for looking a bit too young for his age . so once he left jump street , he decided to go undercover as somebody who looked older .
the most famous jump street alumni is johnny depp , who played officer tom hanson . but the one with the biggest vancouver connection is peter deluise , who played officer doug penhall .
jonah hill and channing tatum will reprise their “jump street” roles as jenko and schmidt , but will smith and tommy lee jones aren’t expected to don the black suits and shades again .
on october 7 , 2016 , a petition was started in urltoken for greenligth the production of 23 jump street . the petition is directed to many members of the films ' staff .
an episode about suicide sounds like the complete opposite of the 21 jump street movies , but go with me here . yeah , the a plot about a student killing himself and hanson’s reaction to it is well intentioned if somewhat heavy handed but it’s the b plot where the episode really shines .
the film version of 21 jump street might as well have ironic quotation marks around its title , since damn near everything else in it does . the proudly goofy take - off on the television show that made johnny depp a reluctant teen idol is less an adaptation than an “adaptation” that delights in highlighting the ridiculous clichés and tropes it lampoons . like the equally irreverent film version of starsky & hutch , 21 jump street is less interested in recycling the conventions of the show it’s ostensibly adapting for the big screen than in exaggerating them for comic effect . rather than pretending that 31 - year - old channing tatum could convincingly pass for a high - school student , for example , the screenplay has characters repeatedly calling tatum out for looking like a middle - aged man . 21 jump street leans heavily on hyper - self - awareness in ways that can be both refreshing and exhausting . for instance , ice cube plays a one - note angry black police captain who openly acknowledges that he’s a stereotype . that’s where the joke begins , and that’s where it ends .
cm : if you look very closely in the background you can see the street sign .
hill wasn ' t immediately on board with making a movie based on 21 jump street . but after thinking about the premise , he latched on to the idea of what it would be like to go back to high school and relive that experience from the perspective of having already been through it .
once painted on a billboard featuring his 21 jump street ( 1987 ) character because he didn ' t like his picture or the message the billboard gave . he was stopped by a security guard who actually let him finish what he was doing when he realized it was johnny ' s own face .
( about his character in 21 jump street ) hanson is not someone i ' d want to have pizza with . i don ' t believe in having undercover cops in high school - it ' s spying . the only thing i have in common with tom hanson is that we look alike .
another local street sign , for perdido street , can be glimpsed after a key third - act scene in which hill and tatum engage in a high - speed limousine chase through the cbd - - although not all the signs at that location made it into the film .
“yes , it’s very early stages , obviously , ” bobin told cs last year at the alice junket , “but i’ve always loved the ‘men in black’ world . channing [ tatum ] and jonah [ hill ] in ’21 jump street’ are just so funny . those guys and their world makes me laugh every time i think about it . that’s always a good sign for a film . ”
the title and the bare - bones premise aren’t the only elements of the film redolent of pop culture’s recent past . 21 jump street combines the half - forgotten conventions of the mismatched buddy - cop movies of the ’80s with clinton - era gags about political correctness . nick offerman helps establish a knowing , giddily self - referential tone early on by telling hill and tatum he’s assigning them to a program from the ’80s that was discontinued but resurrected because the police department has completely run out of new ideas . 21 jump street is appropriately devoid of novel concepts ( the first big , ironic laugh comes when the logo for the production company “original film” appears onscreen ) , but it’s more consistently amusing and inspired than an adaptation of an ’80s tv show has any right to be .
the show did reasonably well , but when the simpsons became a mega - hit , fox head barry diller decided jump street wasn’t pulling in a big enough audience , and gonged it .
21 jump street was an unexpected surprise . it ' s the funniest film of 2012 and amidst all the laughs manages to accurately portray the modern day high school . while the script is smart and the self - referential jokes are welcome , the movie belongs to its stars jonah hill and channing tatum . they are a great comedy duo . this movie alone made me a fan of tatum .
i can watch this film over and over and the laughs keep coming . love it !

, 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 . 21 jump street trailer courtesy columbia pictures .
sony has set the jonah hill - led remake of 21 jump street for march 16 , 2012 , where it will go head to head with fellow remake contraband . hill plays an undercover cop on assignment in high school in jump street , which he says is like “ a john hughes movie with bad boys - style action . ” last we heard , writer / director phil lord was still looking to cast hill’s policial partner , but an offer is out to emma stone for the female lead .
doug penhall , one of the series main cops and hanson’s partner , at first brushes the suicide off and cracks jokes . this is all a cover for a secret he’s never revealed to anyone , that his mother killed herself when penhall was six . when he finally divulges this to hanson , we see a core facet of what made 21 jump street so great and what the first film ran with .
21 jump street is part of the recently announced agreement between sony and mgm to explore co - financing opportunities on future motion pictures produced by each of the respective studios for the next five years . they have most recently partnered on the highly anticipated bond 23 , set for worldwide release on november 9 , 2012 .

andrew fleming , director of the original film , and star rachel true ( who played rochelle in the 1996 film ) also gave their two cents about revisit to the craft . while fleming is on board with the idea , true wasn’t one - hundred percent sold on the concept . she expressed her apprehensions :
in 2016 , finding the actual oak tree from the film could be as difficult as trying to find a tree when kesell was first looking for one . wood ranch in simi valley no longer appears the way it did when the film was shot . only a couple of years after the film came out , the area had been massively developed with homes , parks and a country club . upon contacting the simi valley film office , we learned it had no records for the craft since protocol requires it to save film permits and other related documents for only 10 years .
according to the hollywood reporter the 1996 movie , the craft is set for a remake , further reinforcing our mantra : 2016 is the year of the reboot .

upon rewatching the craft , we guessed that the church was most likely not one of the commonly filmed , prominent catholic churches of los angeles due to its size and the content of the film . any filming in a catholic church requires script approval from the archdiocese , and a film about witchcraft probably was not going to be highly regarded .

but i don’t love the craft just because it’s a cult classic , though a huge part of enjoying the craft is poking fun at the fashions and the general ham - fisted approach of 90s movies . the film is deeper than that . high school has always been more than hand - wringing over frenemy drama , securing a prom date , freaking about graduation , and fretting about how to spend the last summer before college . the adolescent experience is fraught with feelings of helplessness and insecurity .

upon calling the church to arrange a time to take photos for this article , the administrator asked what the film was about . we said it was about a group of outcast girls in high school , apprehensive , like the crew , that the church wouldn’t allow us to take photos due to the nature of the film . however , the church accepted our request , and , when we arrived , the same administrator told us she looked up the film to get more details . she was fairly certain that the archdiocese wouldn’t have approved the craft for filming at st . peter’s or any other catholic church in l . a . for a moment we thought the jig was up , but the administrator happily let us take our photos .
sony got mixed reactions last may when it originally announced that the craft remake was happening . no recent horror reboot has fared well against critics or fans , and the idea of bringing back this 1996 cult classic certainly had some groaning in disgust . though , we ' ve yet to see how the idea of a true sequel will go over amongst the craft coven .

to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the pop - culture phenomenon that is the craft , we revisited many of the original filming locations and in the process met a number of property managers and administrators who told us how much they adore the movie . we also spoke with dobrowolski , location manager gary kesell and key assistant location manager brett williams about what it was like shooting the craft in l . a . during the mid - ' 90s .
to me , the craft was never an average teen movie . it was too dark , too brooding , but not in a bad way . upon release , it was something special , providing a much needed counterpoint to another 90s classic , the bubbly and hilarious clueless . the craft is still special and will remain that way , despite news that sony has greenlit an unnecessary remake or sequel of the film . ( which , like , why ? no one asked for that ) .
because oak trees over a certain size are largely protected in california , the magical tree from the craft likely is still out there , but today it could easily be in someone’s backyard .
the girls go to the woods to form a sacred bond to one another and set their intentions as to what powers they would like to cultivate . the oak tree where the girls perform this ceremony was perhaps the most difficult location to find for the craft .

for those old enough to remember the movie ' s release in theaters , it is truly a solemn anniversary , as the craft officially turns 20 years old today . where oh where has the time gone ? as fleming told us during an interview to reflect on the film ' s two decades in the pop - cultural zeitgeist , “it feels like i made the movie five minutes ago . ”
andrew fleming’s cult classic the craft was one of those films that arrived at the right time and with the right tone . the mid - 1990s were rife with alternative looks , as grunge and goth both hit the mainstream . as a result , the 1996 film found itself a minor box office success , taking in a respective $ 55 million on a rather small budget of $ 15 million .
the first l . a . location to pop up in the craft is lax and its iconic theme building , the futuristic structure built in 1961 , which housed the airport’s encounter restaurant from 1997 to 2013 . not only did the production have to grab a shot outside the terminal at the passenger pickup curb , but rain effects were also required , which , early in the film , set up the theme that would permeate the rest of the movie : the four elements of nature and their use in paganism .
the star initially had concerns about starring in another horror so soon after the craft , but wisely decided otherwise , with co - star skeet ulrich ( who plays jock chris ) also joining her in the first instalment .
“there will be callbacks to the original movie , so you will see there is a connection between what happened in the days of the craft , and how these young women come across this magic many years later . ”

i love the craft because , at its core , it is a movie about real pain experienced in your teenage years . a lot of kids , girls especially , struggle with problems that transcend the hollywood version of high school life . the craft rejects that hollywood version and focuses on four vulnerable outcasts and what these girls do to gain control over their lives . we have all felt the unique helplessness of being a teenager , old enough to realize you don’t have any control over your life yet too young to do anything about it . the craft confronts that reality , and i love it .

still , even when sleepovers became more about social scenes and hunky actors , we would watch the craft every once in a while . bonnie , rochelle , sarah , and nancy were still cool , but the film took on a darker aspect . it wasn’t about the creepy rituals anymore ; it was about how these girls struggled with their problems , the least of which was fitting in at school .

the script for the film was basically developed by relying on computer analytics in a new system that uses machine learning ( artificial intelligence ) to develop a project targeted by genre , story , demographics . it can even calculate in particular cities where that genre of film worked best — defining that audience and building a project finely tailored for them .
today , there’s nothing hollywood enjoys more than taking a minor but still popular hit like the craft , finding a hot young director , and remaking / rebooting the heck out of it . so it wasn’t much of a surprise when , last year , sony announced they were remaking the occult teen thriller . and while remakes tend to ear the ire of die - hard fans , apparently this version of the witch - sploitation film won’t forget all of its roots .
one of the most memorable sequences in the craft employed an insane amount of snakes , bugs and rodents , which appeared to be taking over the house . about 2 , 700 snakes were used in the sequence , and some of them had to be filmed at the home’s exterior in sunland . kesell says , “i know that they [ the snake wranglers ] knew exactly how many snakes they brought , and i know that not all of them got back in the box . ” so if you happen upon a snake in the sunland area , there’s a good chance its slithery relative appeared in the craft .
in a year dominated by blockbusters such as independence day , twister and the first mission : impossible , the craft didn’t rank anywhere near the top of 1996’s highest - grossing movies . yet the film , released on may 3 , 1996 , was most certainly a hit with millennials and young gen xers , grossing about $ 55 million worldwide on an estimated $ 15 million budget . directed by andrew fleming and starring robin tunney as sarah , fairuza balk as nancy , neve campbell as bonnie and rachel true as rochelle , the craft is one of those rare films that fans still obsess over years later .

more than any other line of dialogue from the craft , this quote captures the lasting appeal of the seminal teen classic . released on may 3 , 1996 , writer - director andrew fleming ' s ode to teenage pariahdom finished no 1 . at the box office in its opening weekend , surprising industry onlookers and beating out the heavily - hyped pamela anderson starring vehicle barb wire . though both films featured woman protagonists , they couldn ' t have been more different ; while anderson ' s outsized brand of femininity was designed to service the male gaze , the craft was a film about teenage girls , for teenage girls . unlike amy heckerling ' s candy - coated clueless — the standard - bearer of mid - 1990s teen cinema — it dove headfirst into the darker undercurrents of the young female psyche .
in the late ' 90s , craft beer saw a renaissance of sorts . after years of nondescript light beers almost completely dominating the market , tastes seemed to wake up . breweries and brew - pubs started up almost overnight . a boom was born .
while not a hit on the level of heckerling ' s film , the craft made a decent return at the box office and found even more success in its post - theatrical run , where it brilliantly captured the angst - ridden zeitgeist of the post - grunge years . even 20 years later , it continues to be discovered by new generations of middle - and - high - schoolers who recognize something of themselves in the film ' s core group of outcasts : rage - fueled rebel nancy ( fairuza balk ) ; damaged newcomer sarah ( robin tunney ) ; playful outsider rochelle ( rachel true ) ; and timid burn victim bonnie ( neve campbell ) .

i hadn’t wanted to direct the film . at first , i was just brought in to work on the script . i’d recently finished a horror movie called bad dreams and i didn’t want to make the same thing again . but then i realised the craft was essentially a character piece : the story of four teenage girls not fitting in at school as much as one about spells and witchcraft . i didn’t want the witches to have pointed hats or fly around on broomsticks . i wanted them to look like they were in the cure .
