BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

23 Jump Street Is In The Works

22 Jump Street is the tenth-highest-grossing movie of the year at the domestic box office–and the highest-grossing movie of the year to feature no superheroes, transformers, monsters, apes, LEGOs, or Maleficents. Unsurprisingly, Deadline reports that Sony is working on a Jump Street threequel (a possibility that 22 Jump Street teasingly joked about.) The studio has hired writer Rodney Rothman, who was one of the four credited writers on 22 Jump Street. It’s unclear at this point whether directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller will helm the threequel, but they are already onboard as producers. Please Leave A Comment- Source- EW

22 Jump Street Review: Many Funny Parts But Original Is Better

The insanely funny 22 Jump Street has its many moments, but just falls behind its slightly better original. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller in 2012 transformed a long-sleeping (and frankly boring) television series into a hilarious piece of comedy, demonstrating that nearly everything has a second life. Their follow-up 22 Jump Stree t is almost as funny as the original, but that doesn't mean we like it any less. Based almost entirely around the premise that our heroes Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) must do EXACTLY the same thing that they did in 21 Jump Street , they're set out to impersonate college students looking for a drug supplier. Their captain (Ice Cube) literally commands them: "Do the same thing as last time. Exactly the same thing." Soon, they're doing just that, partying at frat houses with Schmidt screwing women and Jenko acting as the star WR on the college's football team. But their relationship soon hits the

RIDE ALONG Movie Review. The Film Is Funny From Start To Finish

RIDE ALONG Movie Review By: MattInRC Thankfully, Ride Along takes us out of the Month of Meh in hilarious fashion. As we've lamented before, films in January are usually forgettable tripe thrown together to literally get Hollywood past the doldrums of the Oscar season. The results are usually just as bad - from The Legend of Hercules to The Nut Job and The Marked Ones . Thankfully, our first REAL movie of 2014 arrives with the hilarious buddy-cop Ride Along , reminding us that Januaries are not so bad. High school security employee Ben Barber ( Kevin Hart ) wants desperately to join the Atlanta Police Department, hoping to take his online Xbox handle as BlackHammer to the streets. He also hopes to win the hand of his girlfriend Angela ( Tika Sumpter ), whose brother James Payton ( Ice Cube ) already serves on the force. However, James doesn't have a great opinion of Ben, whom he thinks is not ready for either the police or his sister. Payton decides to

Ride Along Trailer Starring Kevin Hart & Ice Cube

What happens when you cast Kevin Hart as a loud-mouthed school security guard together with hard-nosed cop Ice Cube ? Well, the new action comedy Ride Along hopes it equals laughs. Hart is Ben, a man more used to dealing with schoolyard squabbles than major crime. He also happens to be head over heels in love with Angela ( Tika Sumpter ), and intends to marry her, but there’s just one small problem: her big brother James ( Cube ). Singularly unimpressed with the “Smurf” his sister has chosen to spend his life with, James decides that the only way Ben can prove himself worthy, now that he's joined the police academy, is to come on a ride-along. After the necessary preparation montage, the pair hits the streets. Our worries that this one seems overly generic aren’t dispelled by the new promo: even with Hart’s live-wire delivery and Cube’s typically tough-guy stuff, we still feel like we’ve seen every joke before. The whole film will, like Ben, have to prove itself when i

You Got What It Takes To Go Undercover at 21 Jump Street

Think you're ready to go undercover with 21 Jump Street? Your final step is interviewing with Capt. Dickson ( Ice Cube !). I just went through the interview process and it was pretty entertaining. I have to warn you about the explicit language in the videos. 21 Jump Street hits theaters 3/16. Official  website - Follow the film on  Twitter - LIKE their facebook page- In the action-comedy 21 Jump Street, Schmidt ( Jonah Hill ) and Jenko ( Channing Tatum ) are more than ready to leave their adolescent problems behind. Joining the police force and the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go undercover in a local high school. As they trade in their guns and badges for backpacks, Schmidt and Jenko risk their lives to investigate a violent and dangerous drug ring. But they find that high school is nothing like they left it just a few years earlier -- and neither expects that they will have to confront the terror and anxiety of being a teenager again

New Images From RAMPART Starring An All-Star Line-Up- The Most Corrupt Cop On Screen

Here are some new images from RAMPART starring Woody Harrelson, Robin Wright, Sigourney Weaver, Ice Cube, Ben Foster, Ned Beatty, Steve Buscemi, Cynthia Nixon and Anne Heche . Los Angeles, 1999. Officer Dave Brown (two-time Academy Award nominee Woody Harrelson ) is a Vietnam vet and a Rampart Precinct cop, dedicated to doing "the people's dirty work" and asserting his own code of justice, often blurring the lines between right and wrong to maintain his action-hero state of mind. When he gets caught on tape beating a suspect, he finds himself in a personal and emotional downward spiral as the consequences of his past sins and his refusal to change his ways in light of a department-wide corruption scandal seal his fate. Brown internalizes his fear, anguish and paranoia as his world, complete with two ex-wives who are sisters, two daughters, an aging mentor dispensing bad advice, investigators galore, and a series of seemingly random women, starts making less and le

Could Another Friday Film Be On The Way?

It's been almost ten years since the last instalment, but Ice Cube and New Line are apparently keen to revive the slacker Friday franchise. The first Friday was a stoner comedy released in 1995. It's nominal plot involved Chris Tucker's need to get $200 back to local drug dealer Big Worm ( Faizon Love ) and Cube's face-off with bully Deebo ( Tiny Lister ), but its easygoing pace allowed for plenty of sitting around on porches, talking nonsense and smoking. Five years later, Next Friday was a broader tale of Cube staying with his cousin Day-Day ( Mike Epps ) and getting embroiled in some shenanigans against the trio of haplessly inept Latino gangstas next door (this was at the height of Cube's rather public spat with Cypress Hill, context fans). The Cube/Epps double-act continued into Friday After Next , which saw them as mall cops. There was also a short-lived animated series, although none of the movie series cast provided the voices. The first film wa

Johnny Depp To Make Cameo In The 21 Jump Street Film

ComingSoon has confirmed that Johnny Depp will be making a small cameo in the upcoming 21 jump Street film. Who he will be playing is still unknown as of now, but with time I am sure it will be leaked out. The film directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs), the big screen adaptation stars Hill, Channing Tatum, Ice Cube, Brie Larson, Rob Riggle, DeRay Davis, Dave Franco and Jake Johnson . Based on the Fox series that ran from 1987 to 1991, the movie will center on two undercover cops ( Hill and Tatum ), who are assigned to work in schools. Cube is playing the police chief and Larson is the female lead. Hill had previously said that they had written a "really funny" cameo for Depp and was hopeful that he would do it.

Disney To Deliver Ice Cube's Chrome And Paint

Disney is negotiating to finance and distribute Chrome and Paint , a gritty Boyz N' The Hood-style drama that Ice Cube will direct and star in, based on a script he co-wrote with Eva Vives. The film is a drama about the custom car culture of South Central Los Angeles. Cube will produce with his Cube Vision partner Matt Alvarez. Cube, who directed the 2010 Oakland Raiders documentary Straight Outta L.A. for ESPN, hasn't directed a narrative feature since 1998's The Players Club , which he also wrote. In Chrome and Paint, Cube uses the subculture of tricked out Mercedes, BMW and Low Rider cars to frame a drama about the temptation to place materialism above all else. The film has elements of Saturday Night Fever and American Graffiti. Disney’s interest came out of a general meeting with Cube. Disney exec Louanne Brickhouse, herself a car enthusiast, took an interest in the project as did production president Sean Bailey. Universal also showed interest in the film but has a

Jonah Hill To Get Dirty With The Kitchen Sink

Jonah Hill is in talks to make his feature directorial debut on The Kitchen Sink , the Oren Uziel script for Sony Pictures about the unlikely alliance between a high school-aged vampire, zombie and human as they try to save their town from invading aliens. The script was a top choice on the recently released 2010 Black List. Matt Tolmach is producing, and it was one of the first projects his company acquired after he left his executive job and jumped right in to produce the Spider-Man reboot with Laura Ziskin and Avi Arad. Hill is hot stuff at Sony, co-writing 21 Jump Street , and co-starring in the transfer of the Fox TV drama alongside Channing Tatum and Ice Cube , with Phil Lord and Chris Miller directing. Hill also co-starred with Brad Pitt in Moneyball , the Bennett Miller-directed adaptation of the Michael Lewis book about Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane. That script was written by Steve Zaillian and gets released September 23 by Sony. The title The Kitchen

Ice Cube To Star In 21 Jump Street Movie?

Ice Cube is negotiating to join Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum in 21 Jump Street . In 21 Jump Street, Cube will play the precinct captain role originated by Steven Williams in the TV series that launched the career of Johnny Depp . Ice Cube To Play Precinct Captain In 21 Jump Street Movie?  Phil Lord and Chris Miller are directing the pic for Sony Pictures. Cube livens up the cast, but if they are planning to replicate the series plot about undercover cops that infiltrate schools, I'm still waiting to see if they cast anybody that remotely looks like they might be proofed in a bar. Depp was a baby-faced 24 when he started the series: Tatum is 30 and Hill is 27. Shooting begins in late April and Neal Moritz is producing. Cube will jump into that film after he finishes a role in the New Line romancer New Year's Eve , matched with Hilary Swank. Cube, who directed the 2010 Oakland Raiders documentary Straight Outta L.A. for ESPN, hasn't directed a narrative feature sin
