Sinqua Walls and Jack Harlow have big sneakers to fill if they’re to get anywhere near the three-pointer that was Ron Shelton’s iconic Wesley Snipes/Woody Harrelson sports movie White Men Can’t Jump, but now we’ve been given our first proper look at the 20th Century Studios remake with the official trailer.
Charles Kidd II, aka Calmatic, directs this remake from a script written by Black-ish creator Kenya Barris and Doug Hall. As well as starring Sinqua Walls (Nanny) and being the feature debut for rap star Jack Harlow, the cast also includes the late Lance Reddick (The Wire), Teyana Taylor (Coming 2 America) and Laura Harrier (Entergalactic). Check out the trailer below…
“White Men Can’t Jump is a modern retelling of the iconic 1992 film that celebrates the streetball hustling culture of Los Angeles. Sinqua Walls stars as Kamal, once a promising player who derailed his future in the sport, and multi-platinum rap superstar Jack Harlow makes his movie debut as Jeremy, a former star of the game whose injuries stalled his own career. Juggling tenuous relationships, financial pressures and serious internal struggles, the two ballers—opposites who are seemingly miles apart—find they might have more in common than they imagined possible.”
White Men Can’t Jump is streaming on May 19th on Hulu.
