21 Jump Street isn’t coming out until March 16, but Jonah Hill says that he and Michael Bacall are “writing the sequel now,” having been given a green light from the studio. Seems a bit like putting the sequel cart before the movie horse, if you know what I mean. But if things like focus groups and press screenings can give a studio a good enough idea of how the movie will do in theaters even before it’s released to know whether a sequel is called for, more power to them. And their terrifying, ticket-sale predicting powers of clairvoyance. (Someone write a movie about that! And then immediately write a sequel.)
