We got our first look at the upcoming remake of the ’80s TV series, 21 Jump Street, back in May this year, showing us Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum in their cop uniforms, with Jonah Hill looking a lot slimmer than we’re used to seeing him.
The film’s first red and green band trailers have now arrived, courtesy of Collider and ComingSoon.net respectively, and they give us a great idea of what to expect. Essentially, this should be a lot of fun.
The green band trailer’s pretty much the same, with one additional scene, minus all the swearing. So naturally, the red band trailer’s not suitable for work.
A little unexpectedly, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs’ co-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller are helming this remake, which Hill has co-written himself with Michael Bacall (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World).
“In the action-comedy 21 Jump Street, 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.”
The film will also star Ice Cube, who is brilliant in the trailer(s), Brie Larson, and Dave Franco, with a cameo coming from the original series’ star, Mr. Johnny Depp. 21 Jump Street is set to hit the UK on 16th March next year, and judging from these trailers, it should be a pretty great success. Without further ado, here’s the red band trailer first, followed by the green. Enjoy.
