The 1992 film White Men Can’t Jump is getting a reboot courtesy of Black-ish creator Kenya Barnes, which is slated to feature NBA star Blake Griffin and Carolina Panthers’ player Ryan Kalil, Variety reports.
The original White Men Can’t Jump starred Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes as streetball hustlers who start out as rivals over Harrelson’s ability to dunk and end up coming together.
The script will be written by Barnes under Fox, while Griffin and Kalil are assisting in production through their Mortal Media producing company.
This won’t be the first time we’ve seen Blake practice his acting chops on screen. He played alongside Chris Brown and Drake during that hilarious ESPY skit back in 2014 and he’s also starred in quite a few commercials including his popular Space Jam, Jordan Brand commercial.
Not sure what to think about this I’m always happy to get a sports movie, but I happy watching the original White Men Can’t Jump over and over it’s the similar to Friday it’s the type of movie you can never get tired of watching. But also the movie was good because Wesley and Woody are amazing actors but were decent bballers blake is a amazing athlete but can he carry a movie prob not, hopefully he is not the main character.
NOOOOOOOOOOO, I LIKE BLAKE GRIFFIN, BUT THERE ARE SOME MOVIES THAT YOU JUST CANNOT REMAKE. LEAVE THAT 90s CLASSIC ALONE.
This movie’s a classic?
It’s classic anti-white propaganda from (((Hollywood))). Portray the white guy as inferior fuck up.
and is that a problem? When Hollywood continuously portrays the African race as inferior ? how many slave movies have won Oscars? how many movies with substance, and real entertainment value starring mostly black casts even get considered? fuck this anti white shit you preaching lil homie. White men Can’t Jump!
Indeed it is…if you really in the know
Youtube video title is “Hollywood Anti-White Propaganda & Programming: The Woodsman”. Check it out it’s a five minute clip that conveniently lists all the anti-white stuff in the movie.
Is Blake going to play the white guy?
Well Obviously…
Obviously? He’s half black dipshit!
He will probably have a supporting role and they will get real actors to play the roles.
Christ. Is there no more inspiration to make something new this day in age? Relying on old tales and giving them the ok remake, reboot or modern day look just shows laziness. I mean, even episode 8 was pretty much a new hope 2.0. But, whatever makes the sheeple happy.
