Superbad's Hill in negotiations for new 21 Jump Street

Jonah Hill was three-years-old when 21 Jump Street first aired in 1987. Now, the Superbad star is in negotiations to develop a big-screen version of the show, Variety reports.

The new version of the police drama will be co-produced by original series creator Stephen J. Cannell and Neal Moritz. Hill is in charge of developing the screenplay for Columbia Pictures and will serve as executive producer.

In Fox’s original show, Depp and a team of young actors played young cops who posed as high school and college students to infiltrate schools.

No potential cast members are mentioned yet for the film, though Variety suggests the it may be a potential starring vehicle for Hill. Meanwhile, Hill says he'd like to get Depp involved with the show again. "We have an awesome thing for Depp, if he'll do it," he told MTV. "I don't know if he will or not, [but] it's going to be rad!"
