There’s no reason the 21 Jump Street reboot should’ve worked. But making unlikely successes from unlikely sources seems to have become a specialty of Hollywood’s hottest filmmaking duo, Phil Lord and Chris Miller. 21 Jump Street, The Lego Movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs… when it comes to concepts that seems like cash-ins or childhood silliness, these two somehow find a way to elevate the material into something unique and awe-inspiring. It is for that reason we all should sit back and take true joy in the latest trailer for the teamâs next flick, 22 Jump Street:
College, guns, frat parties, laundry hampers, you guys, I think this. movie. is. going. to. kick. ass. Tatum and Hill are in top form in this trailer, and that improvising bit at the end⦠the anticipation for this film is insane. Especially with that little âright in the crackâ line.
In a world filled with reboots, sequels and adaptations, it really is nice to know there are at least some filmmakers that understand there is a way to make the material youâve been saddled with work, even if the whole world is out for your head.
