Jonah Hill? Was he alive? Ok maybe he was like 5 years old or something like that. Im not to sure about his direction on the film and how well this will go.

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Jonah Hill (Superbad) is in negotiations to develop a movie adaptation of the popular ’80s TV show, “21 Jump Street,” starring Johnny Depp.

It hasn’t been decided whether Hill will actually star in the movie, but Sony confirms that he’ll work on the screenplay and serve as executive producer.

The series, which ran from 1987 to 1991 on Fox, centered on a group of young cops whose youthful appearance allowed them to work undercover in high schools and colleges and search out troubled kids. Sony declined to give any details on the tone or direction of the movie.

Movie Geeks, what do you think?
