The cops Morton Schmidt and Greg Jenko are coming back for the third installment of "23 Jump Street". Release date has not been officially announced, but producers confirm the project is definitely on.
In June this year prior to the premier of "22 Jump Street", Slashfilm interviewed director Chris Miller on the possibility of a "23 Jump Street" its release date and their involvement. Miller responded, "You'll have to ask the studio what the odds are, and hopefully people like the movie enough that that's warranted. I'm sure we'll find a way to be involved in some way. But what we really want is a nap."
Chris Miller is known for his work as writer and producer, in family films such as "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" in 2009 and "The Lego Movie" in 2014. Miller also directed "21 Jump Street" and "22 Jump Street" together with Phil Lord.
These action-comedy films stars Channing Tatum as Greg Jenko and Jonah Hill as Morton Schmidt and is based on the 1987 television drama series of the same name that featured a young Johnny Depp.
The first two Jump Streets gathered an average of $230 million in box office worldwide sales, and has gained positive reviews from critics. According to Rotten Tomatoes that has awarded the second film with 84% positive ratings, "Boasting even more of the bromantic chemistry between its stars - and more of the goofy, good-natured humor that made its predecessor so much fun - '22 Jump Street' is the rare sequel that improves upon the original."
"23 Jump Street" release date and news information has surfaced as early as the release of "22 Jump Street." In an interview with BuzzFeed early in June, Lord teased about the next "22 Jump Street" where he says, "we've already established that is has to be a medical school."
While official "23 Jump Street" release date has yet to be set, production has been in motion as Columbia Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer hired Rodney Rothman to write the script for "23 Jump Street."
Information on Tatum and Hill reprising their roles for "23 Jump Street" have yet to be confirmed.
