Channing Tatum to take on the Lead Role of 21 JUMP STREET Movie

Movie 21 Jump Street Channing Tatum Casting about 13 years agoby Joey Paur

G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra star Channing Tatum is at the top of Sony Pictures list of actors to take on the lead role of the Jonah Hill and Michael Bacall scripted 21 Jump Street film.

Deadline reports that the actor will be entering negotiations soon. He will star along side Hill in the film, which is set to be directed Cloudy with the Chance of Meatballs helmers Phil Lord and Chris Miller.

I'm not a big fan of Tatum as an actor, but this is a film that I think he will actually fit into. To be honest, I'm not expecting much from this film adaption anyway. Who knows, maybe it will surpass my expectations.

21 Jump Street is based on the classic 1987 TV series that launched Johnny Depp's career, about undercover officers who infiltrate schools to fight crime.

What do you think about Tatum being cast in the film?
