Dave Franco Joins the Cast of 21 JUMP STREET

James Franco's brother Dave Franco has been cast in the upcoming new big screen adaptation of 21 Jump Street. He will join Brie Larson, Jonah Hill, Channing Tatumand Ice Cube. Rumor has that Johnny Depp will also make a cameo in the film, since it's the TV series that launched his career. 

Franco will be playing the Villain in the film, a character named "Eric, the most popular kid in school, who also happens to be a raging drug dealer. Hill's narc character befriends him to infiltrate the cool kid crowd." He hasn't really done a lot as an actor yet, but it looks like he's working his way up. He's had roles in films like Superbad, Greenberg and the upcoming Fight Night movie. 

The big question is... will these actors really pass as high school kids? They are all so old, and I don't think any of them look like they can pass for a high schooler, Franco is 26, Hill is 28, and Tatum is 31. What do you think?
