Thanks to those super-juicy Sony leaks, we now have evidence that the studio is planning a crossover between its Men in Black and 22 Jump Street franchises. According to The Wall Street Journal, within the hacker dump, there are emails to and from Sony’s motion-picture chief, Amy Pascal, which detail the studio’s plans. Hannah Minghella, a president of production for Sony’s Columbia Pictures label, writes, “We don’t have a script yet so we’ll be greenlighting the movie off the concept and the talent involved.†And in another email to Pascal, Jump Street’s Jonah Hill writes, “jump street merging with mib [sic] i think that’s clean and rad and powerful.â€Â But while Jonah’s in, neither Will Smith nor fellow MIB star Tommy Lee Jones are — at least in leading roles. Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who directed the last two Jump Street films, are producing and may direct. 22,000 Jump Street: A Space Odyssey, as we’re calling it, could likely hit theaters in 2016 or 2017.
