Late last year, we noted that franchise star Channing Tatum was starting to express some pretty public frustrations at the inability of his and Jonah Hill’s Jump Street series of cop comedies to get a third installment—going so far, at the time, to publicly name series producer Neal H. Moritz as the stopping block in getting another movie made. (Tatum claimed, in an interview to Variety, that he, Hill, and original directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller had all agreed to take pay cuts to get a second sequel produced, but Moritz refused to follow suit.) Now, in a shining reminder that, sometimes, bullying works, Deadline reports that a new installment of the series has officially been put into development at Sony—even if the studio did, apparently, feel like it needed to hop right over 23 Jump Street to get it done.
