Channing Tatum Tweets First Picture From 22 JUMP STREET

 

One of 2012's biggest surprises might have been 21 Jump Street, the big-screen action/comedy remake of the 80's series of the same name, starring Jonah Hill (Moneyball, Superbad) and Channing Tatum (Dear John, White House Down).

The film ended with a rather hilarious and obvious sequel bait, declaring that Jenko (Tatum) and Schmidt
(Hill) were headed to their next assignment in college, and true to form, the sequel is happening...in college, with the first picture from 22 Jump Street hitting the web today through Tatum's Instagram. 

“22 Jump Street” follows officers Schmidt (Hill) and Jenko (Tatum) as they go deep undercover at a local college. But when Jenko meets a kindred spirit on the football team and Schmidt infiltrates the bohemian art major scene, they begin to question their partnership. In addition to cracking the case, the two freshmen must figure out if they can have a mature relationship like real men.

Phil Lord and Chris Miller confirmed in an interveiw over the summer that the film would delve much more into maintaining an emotional relationship between the film's characters:

“It’s more about their marriage, basically.  If the first movie is about two people getting together for the first time, this is about what happens if you try to really make the relationship work.  We’ll probably never do another bromance after this one, but we’re trying to get as emotionally deep into that as possible.”

22 Jump Street will also star Ice Cube (in an expanded role), as well as Amber Stevens (playing Ice Cube's daughter and Hill's new love interest), as well as Wyatt Russell, Channing Tatum, and Jonah Hill.

The film is expected to release June 13, 2014.
