Jonah Hill Jumps to 21 Jump Street — Who's Next?

Jonah Hill by Jeffrey Mayer/WireImage.com
I have to be honest. I never watched 21 Jump Street, Fox's cops-undercover-as-kids show, but I know its legacy holds sway with many of my nostalgia-afflicted peers. I think it was more of a ladies thing, actually, what with all the Depp and Grieco mucking around. So what's with this news I hear that it's Jonah Hill (Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Andy's dad's boyfriend) who will be developing a big-screen adaptation of the popular series as a potential starring vehicle? Is he the Depp or the Grieco? Ah, that's right, there was the Peter DeLuise, the "funny" one. I could see that.

So, assuming for now that Hill will be the funny one, who do you think should fill Johnny Depp, Richard Grieco, Holly Robinson, and Dustin Nguyen's shoes? My thoughts: some combination of Zoe Saldana, Emile Hirsch, Gossip Girl's Jessica Szohr, Channing Tatum, Elijah Kelley (Hairspray), and Chad Michael Murray would be one hot little posse of narcs, no? — Mickey O'Connor

Put Channing Tatum on TV regularly and I will never miss it! I'm not even sure if I can remember if he can act, all I know is I love looking at him!

They don't need anyone new to play Johnny Depp's role. He hasn't aged a bit. Let him do it.

Noircat, you must be legally blind if you think Depp looks like he did 20 years ago! His smoking alone has aged him considerably. With that being said, he is still fine.

I'm not sure I can handle this. I agree with lisa22866. They'll just butcher it, or do what was done to Starsky and Hutch and turn it to a stupid comedy. I think I'll go vomit now.
