Being a huge fan of 21 Jump Street I’m taking all the news on Jonah Hill’s big screen remake with a sense of trepidation, however one thing that would convince me is the involvement (even in a small part) of some of the original series cast.
Now no-one would ever think Johnny Depp would re-visit the series that made his name based on what he has said about the show in the past but to mine, and everyone else’s, suprise Depp has told Entertainment Weekly that he WOULD like to do a cameo as his original character Tom Hanson in the Sony’s cinematic version of 21 Jump Street:
I’m hoping they’ll let me do a cameo. Someone will say, ‘Whatever happened to Tom Hanson?’ and they’ll find me somewhere hoarding jars of peanut butter and shaking in my underpants.
21 Jump Street is written by Michael Bacall (Scott Pilgrim vs The World) and directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller (Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs) and will star Jonah Hill – who also exec produces with series creator Stephen J. Cannell
