Overview

• Tatum said he does not think a third Jump Street will happen, citing costs that he described as too top-heavy to support production.
• He identified Neal H. Moritz’s requested producer fee as the chief obstacle, saying, “Neal’s price for a producer fee is huge.”
• Tatum said he, Jonah Hill, and directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller agreed to reduce their own producer fees to try to make the film viable.
• He called the script for 23 Jump Street “the best” he has read for himself and Hill, yet reported no movement toward production.
• More than a decade after 22 Jump Street, the project remains unproduced with no release schedule, and some commentary suggested his naming Moritz could carry repercussions.
