21 JUMP STREET Red Band Trailer Stars Jonah Hill & Channing Tatum

Watch the new red-band trailer for the action-comedy 21 JUMP STREET. In the film, 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.

I’m more than a little disappointed by the trailer – its nothing like the TV show. I wont go as far as saying they totally ruined it, but it just seems like another idiot comedy.

On May 17, 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 announced that MGM became a financial partner on Sony Pictures Entertainment’s movie.
