You get the feeling that Sony thinks it got it figured out why the female-driven version of Ghostbusters <\/strong>didn’t work. It’s not because there are pig-dog men who throw a tantrum any time a woman takes over a rile a man has done. No, it must be because the stars of that film stars only appeared in Entertainment Weekly <\/em>every other week instead of every week.<\/p>\n

Collider<\/a> is reporting that the studios is pursuing the incredibly buzzworthy actresses Tiffany Haddish and Awkwafina to star in their gender-swapped\u00a021 Jump Street<\/strong> reboot.<\/p>\n

Haddish is still riding high after her breakthrough role in 2017’s Girls Trip <\/strong>and Awkwafina experienced a breakthrough of her own with roles on Ocean’s 8 <\/strong>and Crazy Rich Asians<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Collider states that this time around, the pair will play cops infiltrating a high school, except that Haddish will be playing a teacher and Awkwafina her daughter, who is a student.<\/p>\n

Now comes the point in the article where I remind you that Sony has already rebooted 21 Jump Street <\/strong>only six years ago, and that reboot had a sequel that arrived only four years ago. So, no one is clamoring for a redo already. However, this reboot will be written and directed by Rodney Rothman, who wrote the sequel 22 Jump Street <\/strong>and the directors of the previous reboot, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, are producing this film. Hopefully this means that this will be a spin-off and not a reboot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Sony is going after two of the most buzzworthy female stars for its gender-swapped 21 JUMP STREET reboot. <\/div>\n
