News of a21 Jump Street Female Spinoffwas first reported back in 2018, but since then not much more has been revealed. Well, despite the length of time, work is still ongoing on the project, with the title now revealed to beJump Street: Now For Her Pleasure. Reports state that Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin, also known as the Molyneux sisters, wrote the initial draft of theJump Streetspin-off movie before director Rodney Rothman decided to bring in some of his own ideas and rewrite the script. With the movie having been in development for some time, it’s likely that there have been a lot of changes made along the way.
At the time,Tiffany Haddish and Awkwafinawere being eyed to lead the female-drivenJump Street, but whether that is still the case after all this time is currently unknown. The sequel does reportedly still include the input of producers, and previousJump Streetdirector, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who are also the duo behind Sony Pictures Animation’s upcoming sequel toSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.22 Jump StreetandSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Versewriter Rodney Rothman is also said to still be on board to helmJump Street: Now For Her Pleasure.
A big screen comedy adaptation of the television series of the same name,21 Jump Streetstars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as police officersSchmidt and Jenko, who are forced to relive high school when they are assigned to go undercover as high school students to prevent the outbreak of a new synthetic drug and arrest its supplier. The sequel,22 Jump Street, picks up with Schmidt and Jenko once again as they go undercover at a college in order to find the supplier of a new drug.
Both movies in theJump Streetfranchise were massive critical and financial hits, with many calling them two of thebest comedies of all time. Since then, the studio has been looking to continue the series, even considering a crossover with sci-fi action-comedy seriesMen in Black. Sadly, despite the immense possibilities, this never came to fruition and was recently cancelled altogether, withMen in Blackproducer Walter Parkes explaining that they simply could not find the approach to the idea. “We gave it a shot. It turned out to be an impossible match-up,” he said.
