http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/ 2008/ 05/ 21-jump-street.html
21 Jump Street by way of...Jonah Hill?! Yes, it's true: The breakout Superbad comic and Judd Apatow acolyte is in negotiations to develop a movie adaptation of the popular '80s TV show 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.

From Johnny to Jonah: Hill to Write ‘21 Jump Street’
http://movie.cooone.com/news/from-johnny-to-jonah-hill-to-wr...Superbad star Jonah Hill, fresh from being rumored to star in Transformers 2, is taking the pen to the pad and jottin’ down words. Words, that when they are put together reasonably and rationally, should look something like an adaptation of 21 Jump Street for the big-screen. EW reports that Sony is in talks and negotiations with Hill to both write and executive produce the film, but no word as to whether or not he will star. My guess is that yes, he will star. The show was about cops who went undercover as high school students and Hill (who will be 25 in December) has a very youthful face. What’ll be interesting to see is whether or not Hill can actually write or if he’s again trying to be like his mentor, Seth Rogen, whose been writing professionally since 2001’s “Undeclared” when he was a teen (and believe it or not, is only 5 months older than Hill — he has aged HORRIBLY, he looks like he’s 37). What I do like about this is that it hasn’t been labeled an “Apatow Production” yet. It seems like the man is getting a lot of credit for other people’s work and the only mention of the man in the EW article is when the writer refers to Hill as a “Judd Apatow acolyte.” Neal Moritz and Stephen J. Cannell are set to produce for Sony, no director or stars are attached as of yet. However, I do think Johnny Depp could still pull off looking like a 12th-grader.

Jonah Hill working on '21 Jump Street' movie
http://blogs.tampabay.com/juice/2008/05/jonah-hill-work.htmlSince Fraggle Rock was announced as a movie in the works this week, Hollywood has decided to go for broke and make a version of 21 Jump Street. Entertainment Weekly says Jonah Hill, of all people, is in talks to adapt the series for the big screen. Sony says he'll work on the screenplay and serve as executive producer for movie, but there's no decision on whether he'll be a member of the cast. And why not? Hill played a teen in Superbad, so why not be a part of the youthful-looking cops from the old Fox show? We don't think he could really pull off the Johnny Depp role, but we're willing to bet Richard Grieco is available. [Photo: Getty Images] Source
