'21 Jump Street' to premiere as SXSW centerpiece

Can't call this a remake because it looks NOTHING like the original television series. The public already has a negative perception about police so lets give them even more fuel for the fire and portray police officers as being stupid flunkies. Nice job Hollywood in the message you're sending to our youth.

WHAT a piece of crap this will be. It's got NOTHING to do with 21 Jump Street, and they've reduced it to a stupid horny guy comedy with two losers as the main characters. How PATHETIC. I was looking forward to it when I first heard it was being made into a movie because I had envisioned it as something along the lines of the "Miami Vice" movie, which was treated with some respect. Sadly, they've peed all over the original series and wasted the chance to make a really good movie based on a cutting-edge drama that actually had some relevant lessons to be learned from it. This is just a mockery of the original and has absolutely NOTHING to do with the t.v. series beyond the name. It's more like an "American Pie" remake. Steven J. Cannell must be spinning in his grave...

Bad enough that Jump Street will bare no resemblance to the TV show. Worse that Jonah Hill is behind it (and in it). TOTAL DEATH that they let Channing Tatum anyhwere NEAR thescript at all! The only thing that could be more lifeless than Channing Tatum would be a movie starring Channing Tatum and the Twilight girl.

Is everyone in Hollywood on stupidity drugs?

This is just another travesty remake of an old TV show that was so much superior to this tripe. I wish people would stop taking my favorite old TV dramas and turning them into horrible movie comedies (I Spy, Starsky & Hutch and this one) or taking old TV comedies that were funny and turning them into movie comedies that aren't funny (Get Smart, The Beverly Hillbillies).

It looks terrible, not saying the original was great but was still better than this polished turd they are calling " 21 Jump Street"

messing up another good show with a bad movie version , whats next laverne and shirley?

I would never consider this a remake. It will never add up to the original televison series.

looks a D- movie.

a) SXSW is now officially over - showcasing a remake of a bad tv show? real cutting edge ya'll b) Hollywood has reached the bottom of the barrel and is still digging

Won't watch anything with Jonah Hill.
He couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag.

Man, all I can think of whenever I see another one of these *remakes* coming up is #$%$...

It's official - Everyone even slightly connected with Hollywood has run out of ideas.

That 21 Jump Street flick is going to bomb at the box office.

how do you take a drama and turn it into a "action-comedy" im sorry 21 Jump street is no a action comedy. there for the show is not 21 Jump street ....

New version looks like a complete turd. Not interested.

OMG!!! Doesn't anyone out there have an original thought?

Pooping out another remake. The original idea is dead.

This movie is a total BOMB.. what a waste of money.. waste of time.. and has nothing to do with 21 JUmp street. It was a good show in its time. If todays generation wants to see it then instead of paying $11.00 for a crapy movie instead of spending money and buying the series or see if there are a few episodes on You Tube. remeber this: U get what you paid for. This is going to be next to the Green Hornet bomb.

Let's see bad movie remakes of average to good TV shows. Dukes of Hazzard, S.W.A.T., Starsky & Hutch, Land of the Lost, Lost in Space, now 21 Jump Street. What's next a movie remake of Land of the Giants, Sliders, Space 1999?
