    Why skip ahead to “24 Jump Street”?

    For starters, Sony’s “Jump Street” movies are already a self-aware reboot of the 1980s television series starring Johnny Depp. Plus, the coda to “22 Jump Street” sees Schmidt and Jenko take on a series of other undercover missions that could serve as a potential “23 Jump Street.” The duo infiltrate a medical school, culinary school, firefighter school, dance school and seminary, then go to space and eventually become a video game and an animated series. Thus, Sony titling the forthcoming film “24 Jump Street” continues the running gag.

    Who wrote this gibberish?

        To be fair on my part, I’ve never seen any jump street properties, so I probably shouldn’t comment

            That’s unnecessary piling on. I didn’t see anyone else mention how old they were, and I was curious, so I looked it up. Then I figured I wouldn’t make other curious people look it up, so I shared the information.

      Producers who like money!

      It has been long enough that I am not optimistic about it working out.

      Me, my partner and I call out for more every time we see watch them or watch any of the actors in anything else.

      So glad its not MIB related, hope it is the same crestives behind the camera and script.

      I was hoping this style of clumsy unfunny comedy was done with TBH. I miss comedy…just not this.

    Unpopular opinion, but how the hell is Channing Tatum famous? He’s a terrible actor; easily as bad as Taylor Lautner, and yet somehow his career keeps chugging along while the industry (rightly) shoved Lautner over a cliff after a while.

    This all occured to me after watching the trailer for “Roof Man” or whatever the ridiculous name of his latest movie is.

    Wouldn’t it be easier to just take a release calendar from 20 years ago, look what movie was released on what day and release remakes in the same order?

    Next year we would see Pirates of the Caribbean remake, new Harry Potter, new Spider Man, new Shrek, new Transformers, I Am Legend remake, new Simpsons movie and 300 remake, among other things. So pretty much nothing would change but planning would be way easier.
