Which episodes? And you really should watch all of season 5. There are a lot of good episodes. Season 5 is on youtube.

I think Sienna is a new character they've created. I don't recall her being in season 5 anyway.

The first two episodes with Garrett and Kate who was FBI and at the end becomes Jump street and then the other one I watched half of. I thought Johnny/ Hanson was in one of those two they still had his name up on those two episodes. Plus someone on here said he was in the first episode of the 5th season because it was supposed to be in season 4 but wasn't. Sue

You know like I said I couldn't tell you I only know what I say in the first two episodes and about Joey and Mac from stories I've read. But I never heard of Sienna but then I will not watch the rest of season 5. To me and this is just me it's not Jump Street without the originals and all these new faces and Doug not lasting the whole season, well that just doesn't do it for me. Only my opinion. Thanks Sue

Hill: 'Fans will love 21 Jump Street reboot'
Wednesday, November 3 2010, 16:37 GMT
By Justin Harp, Entertainment Reporter

Jonah Hill has his expressed excitement over the upcoming big screen reboot of popular 1980s TV drama 21 Jump Street.

Speaking to Access Hollywood, Hill, who co-wrote the screenplay for the project, promised that fans of the police drama will be pleased with directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller's modern update.

"I think we really love the premise of young-looking cops going back to high school," he said.

Hill revealed that the remake is scheduled to begin production in "early next year" and the directors have not ruled a cameo by Johnny Depp, who shot to stardom while playing Officer Tom Hanson on the original series.

"We wrote a cameo for [Depp] so we hope he does it," Hill concluded.

21 Jump Street is to be released in 2012.

I hope that is true that they write it like the old Jump street but with new tech toys and guns..lol.
Wow they did or are writing a cameo for Johnny for the Jump street movie, huh, guess they and we can dream.
I wonder if it's not too big or take up too much of Johnny's time if he'll do it? Part of me thinks he will as a fun thing, to remember and another part of me thinks he worked hard to get away from it to do it. Yet, and back to the first part of me, he has succeeded and never was the teen idol after he left and didn't get sucked into those roles and went for the roles he wanted to do that made him happy and not making other's happy. So he has shed Hanson and again he could do it as a goof....could you see him and some of his friends like Burton laughing about it? I don't know what do you think??? Sue

I think it kinda sucks that they've only written a cameo for Johnny. I know I keep going on about it but the new A Team movie had cameos in mind for all the living original cast members (only Mr T turned it down, the rest did it) I just want a 21 Jump Street movie to be like The A Team movie, true to the original show and using actors who grew up watching and can reign it in to how it's supposed to be.

[talentindepp]

I didn't know that the A-Team movie had cameos for all the actors that are still living. And that's good like you said it's written true to what the original show was, didn't know that , thanks. And I too like the idea of people who grew up watching the show are acting in the movie. When does that one come out?
Yeah, it would be nice to see Peter, I haven't seen him or Dustin for that matter. I've seen Sal Jenco since he is a child hood friend of Johnny's and was on Jump street that would be cool and older Janitor for the chapel? There is a cameo for him. And if they did for the others I wonder what they'd have them do and what they have for Johnny to do? I also wonder if Mr. T turned it down I wonder who would turn JS cameo down if they did it for all and who would do it. I think they did it for Johnny to get people to come to the movie since he is the most famous of all of them. Sal has been in one or two of Johnny's movies.
Food for thought though. Sue

Yeah they had Dirk Benedict (original Face) and Dwight Schultz (original Murdock) in scenes with their new counterparts. Granted the cameos appeared after the credits but they were still there (and the cameos have been put in the actual film on the DVD that's coming out in Dec.

Sharlto Copley who played the new Murdock is a HUGE A Team fan, he had memorbilia and everything. The director told him he wanted Murdock to be a dark and edgy character and Sharlto point blank said "No, that's not how the character was" and refused to do anything that wasn't with keeping to the original show. I applaud him for that.

Also he worked with Dwight and got his approval, he showed him his audition tape and Dwight hugged him with tears in his eyes and told him he was now Murdock. Things like that are what for me made the movie version faithful to the show.

I don't think we're going to get that with 21 Jump Street.

I haven't seen Peter or Dustin in anything for ages either. I occasionally see Richard turn up in a true movie. Simple cameos like the one you suggested for Sal would work. Mr T turned down the cameo because he said there was no point in him being in it unless he could play BA again (which was a bit silly as he's in his 60s now and I don't think it'd have worked.)

I honestly think Johnny will turn the cameo down. I agree, they're bandering Johnny's name about to try attract attention.

I applaud Copley as well. He stood up for the good of the character and the series, not many do that I wish they did that for Miami Vice.
That story was touching about Copley and Schultz and how he had tears in his eyes and huged Copley for doing the character right.

I didn't remember the movie was out. Well remind me in Dec. that the dvd is out I'd love to see it sounds like the movie was done right when a lot of them aren't done right. I have a feeling like you do that JS will not be done right. And yeah you are probably right that Johnny will not do the cameo knowing they are using him to sell the film. That's what he fought against in JS to begin with. Yet it's funny to see how his characters Jack Sparrow and the Mad Hatter are being used on everything now. I wonder why he allowed that now?

Yeah Sharlto's good like that. He reminds me of Johnny a little in that he's taking roles because he likes them and wants to do them as opposed to taking roles to become big at the box office. I wish they'd done that for Miami Vice too Yeah it was sweet

Okey dokey will do

I agree, he won't do it because of that and the fact he didn't really like 21 JS.

I think that's more Disney than him, you can't really stop Disney with their onslaught of merchandise lol!

The movie version of 21 Jump Street seems like an absurd thing at face value. But take Jonah Hill as one lead with a script by Scott Pilgrim co-writer Michael Bacall and direction from Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who did such a good job with Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, and I can’t quite resist. (And Emma Stone might be a part of this, too.) What if Channing Tatum was the other lead? Would that break the spell all the other key creators might weave? No, probably not.

Drew at HitFix has read the script and clarifies that Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum would likely be characters named Jenko and Schmidt, respectively. As Drew says, “In the opening of the draft I read, the two of them are working undercover together and get called out by the drug dealers they’re trying to bust for being too young. They’re miserable because of how youthful they look, and it screws up their work. Finally, their boss gives them one last chance, assigning them to the team working out of 21 Jump Street.”

The script sounds as if it is very much in the same spirit as Superbad and Pineapple Express: definitely R-rated, absolutely a comedy. And, as Drew calls it, ‘preposterous,’ which totally jibes with how a few other people have described the script to me. It’s also in line with what Jonah Hill has said about it, which was,

It’s a group of people that go back to high school to deal with a drug problem…It’s a comedy with really cool action. We’re not doing something serious like ‘Miami Vice.’ But it’s not a parody. It’s a funny movie with a lot of great action and a real story. I’ve been saying that it’s like a John Hughes movie with ‘Bad Boys’ style action.

All of these things point to exactly what this movie needs if it is going to be more than a weird joke. Crucially, real action and (more important) real comedy. The idea of pushing this from TV to film at all doesn’t make much sense, because aside from being an early vehicle for Johnny Depp, there’s little reason to canonize the original show. But if you’re going to do it, Channing Tatum might actually be one of the best choices to pair up against Jonah Hill.

Jenko? Schmidt? R-Rated?? What the heck?! This won't be 21 Jump Street!

[sonyab1974]

Oh look. *sigh*

Channing Tatum Could Team With Jonah Hill in '21 Jump Street'

It looks like Jonah Hill has found a partner in (anything but) crime, as Channing Tatum will soon be offered a lead role opposite the actor in Sony's big-screen adaptation of "21 Jump Street," an individual familiar with the project has told TheWrap. The late '80s series created by Stephen J. Cannell helped launch the career of Johnny Depp, who played one of several undercover cops who use their youthful looks to infiltrate schools and fight crime. As a fan of Tatum's work, I look forward to seeing him take on more »

Jenko? Schmidt? R-Rated?? What the heck?! This won't be 21 Jump Street!

Huh?!!?! It sounds like the pilot of the show!!! What the hell?!? They don't have any creativity?! Yeah having it R rated is NOT cool!!!! And is this Jenko character related to the original Jenko?

[talentindepp]

First of all I saw a photo of Jonah Hill??? I saw it from Sonya's IMDB and he looks like Blowfish and not Penhall if it's the right photo, black curling hair , glasses and heavy set? Tatum, well he could be Hanson.
But if this is Jonah Hill and I hope I'm making a mistake here than , yuk he should be Blowfish, but it doesn't seem like Blowfish is in this.

And like you all said rated R, WTF?

Seems what was going to be like the old JS is turning into more. And Jenko, maybe they added him as Jenko's son? But come on if they are going to do this get it right! This makes me mad it seems like it's going to be another Miami Vice though they say no and only because I think, Mann made Vice too serious! Sorry I'm upset too about these things being said and this Hill guy.....please someone post a photo of Jonah Hill and Channig Tatum so I know if I'm right or wrong. Especially with Hill, that again I think looks like Blowfish.

I hope that what they are saying is wrong. I hope the R rated is only due to language since now they can use it and back then they couldn't. you know a few times the words replacing the cursing were a bit strange like the word 'DINK" lol.....I hope that is why the rating though it would probably be a PG rating for language??? Man if it's also for violance they will be doing more than they did it the show with high school kids. They have to have automatic weapons in this move and not revolvers. oh man I'm hanging my head and hoping for the best, but I'll go see it. Sue
