Phil Lord and Chris Miller are in talks to direct the 21 Jump Street movie, reports Variety.

The Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs pair are to work from a script by Michael Bacall and Superbad star Jonah Hill for Columbia Pictures.

Jump Street began life as a TV series in 1987 and helped to launch the career of Johnny Depp. It centred on fresh-faced police officers who worked undercover at high schools.

Neal Moritz and Stephen J. Cannell will produce the movie, while Hill is expected to star and executive produce.
