Last month it was announced that rapper Jack Harlow had nabbed one of the two lead roles in 20th Century Studios’ remake of the 1992 Ron Shelton sports comedy White Men Can’t Jump, and comes word that Sinqua Walls (Resort to Love, Nanny) has joined him in the cast.
The remake is said to “offer a new take” on the original film, which saw Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes as two street basketballers who team up to hustle money on the Los Angeles courts. The film was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $90 million worldwide upon its release in 1992.
Music video director Calmatic (a.k.a. Charles Kidd II), who is coming off New Line’s House Party remake, is set to direct the new film, which has been scripted by Kenya Barris (black-ish).
