Jonah Hill, the star from Superbad who recently missed out on a role in Transformers 2, is set to write and executive produce Sony’s big screen version of 80’s teen series 21 Jump Street according to Entertainment Weekly.
The original TV series ran from 1987 to 1990 on Fox and starred Johnny Depp in what was one of his first major roles. Depp played officer Tom Hanson who was assigned to an elite squad of young undercover cops - Judy Hoffs (Holly Robinson Peete), Doug Penhall (Peter DeLuise) and Harry Truman Ioki (Dustin Nguyen) - to infiltrate high schools and fight crime.
Whether Hill himself will also star in the movie is still up in the air, but it’s been confirmed that series co-creator Stephen J. Cannell will produce.
