21 Jump Street is a comedic re-imaging of the original 21 Jump Street, produced by Sony, starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum. The pair plays police officers who must go undercover in a high school in order to bust a drug ring, just like Johnny Depp in the original series. Depp will have a cameo in the film, a small part that was written specifically for him by Jonah Hill. It is also rumored that original cast members Holly Robinson Peete, Peter DeLuise, Dustin Nguyen, Steven Williams and Richard Grieco will make cameos as well. In 2009, Hill described the film as being "R-rated" and "insane". He also rewrote the original script by screen writer Joe Gazzam.
