Channing Tatum hypes up script for 23 Jump Street, calling it the "best" for a third movie in a trilogy. The Men in Black crossover sequel was scrapped due to ambitious plans, bureaucratic challenges. Tatum and the team are seemingly still trying to get MiB 23 made.

21 Jump Street star Channing Tatum has hyped up the script for the ill-fated crossover sequel, 23 Jump Street, aka MiB 23, calling the script the best he has ever read for a third movie in a trilogy. Discussing the doomed project with Comicbook.com, Tatum will no doubt have action-comedy fans feeling even more saddened that we will likely never see the Jump Street/Men in Black crossover movie on the big screen. See what the actor had to say about the threequel below...

"There is a project that was written and it's still the best script that I've ever read for a third movie.

This week’s new entry in the Summer movie schedule has the distinction of pulling off the seasonal cinema trifecta. So, what’s this multiplex “hat-trick”? Well, number one, it’s a big studio action comedy. Number two, it’s a feature film remake of a decades old classic TV show. And the topper, number three, it’s a sequel. Usually TV adaptations are done in one, like The A-team and Bewitched. 22 Jump Street is the follow-up to 2012′s surprise smash 21 Jump Street, based on the late 1980′s Fox TV crime drama (created by The A-team’s Stephen J. Cannell with Patrick Hasburgh) that propelled Johnny Depp to stardom. But the flick from two years ago wasn’t a straight-faced, literal movie expansion. Taking a cue from 1987′s Dan Aykroyd/Tom Hanks starrer Dragnet, 21 was a loving parody of the earlier cop show. Can Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum possibly...

After making their way through high school (twice), big changes are in store for officers Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) when they go deep undercover at a local college. But when Jenko meets a kindred spirit on the football team, and Schmidt infiltrates the bohemian art major scene, they begin to question their partnership. Now they don’t have to just crack the case – they have to figure out if they can have a mature relationship. If these two overgrown adolescents can grow from freshmen into real men, college might be the best thing that ever happened to them.

Starring Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Peter Stormare, and Ice Cube, the film is based on the Television Series “21 Jump Street” Created by Patrick Hasburgh & Stephen J. Cannell.

Co-directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, 22 Jump Street opens in theaters nationwide on June 13, 2014

22 Jump Street’s Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are hitting the talk show circuit overseas while on the press tour to promote their new film.

The dynamic duo appeared on The Graham Norton Show and Ireland’s The Late Late Show to chat with the hosts about the sequel.

In 2012, audiences around the world sparked to one of the year’s funniest comedies with the hit film 21 Jump Street. Directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, and featuring terrific chemistry between stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, 21 Jump Street took the classic television series’ premise of youthful-looking cops going undercover in a high school and made it all its own. Where the series was an earnest procedural, the film became a subversion of action comedies, with the relationship between the leads taking center stage.

“Schmidt and Jenko are an odd couple,” says Hill. “They got together because they’re partners, but...

Saturday PM, 5th Update: Welcome to another weekend of strong North American box office. But it’s down -7% from last year because Saturday grosses proved softer than expected. Probably the NCAA basketball effect. R-rated pics were hot. Numbers for the #1 movie, Sony Pictures/MGM co-production’ 21 Jump Street, showed an opening of $13M Friday and $12.3M Saturday for a $34M weekend from 3,121 theaters. Friday’s number includes the $700K Friday midnights from 598 theaters. Overall, nice haul for the raunchy laugher whose budget was only around $45M. What’s especially interesting here is that these remakes of popular TV shows rarely work on the big screen. But stars Channing Tatum (The Vow) and Jonah Hill (Moneyball) are hot right now — with Tatum having two films of different genres in the Top 10 this weekend and Hill coming off an Oscar nom. And directors Phil Lord & Christopher Miller (Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs...

21 Jump Street

Written by Michael Bacall, based on the TV series created by Patrick Hasburgh and Stephen J. Cannell

Directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller

USA, 2012

Who has Jonah Hill sold his soul to?

It would have taken a minor miracle to fashion a not-terrible movie out of 21 Jump Street, but conjuring a great, funny film out of that source material leaves the smell of sulfur and brimstone lingering in our nostrils.

Comedy remakes of old TV series are supposed to be terrible (Starsky and Hutch). Buddy cop movies – as Hot Fuzz reminded us – are supposed to be terrible (Cop Out). Movies by comedians made after they get nominated for Oscars are supposed to be terrible (Norbit).

Watching 21 Jump Street lurch down the comedy runway and take off is like watching the Thanksgiving episode of Wrkp in Cincinnati, only to have the turkeys miraculously learn to fly at the last possible second.
