Overview

• In a new Variety interview, Tatum says a third Jump Street is unlikely because producer overhead would match or exceed the film’s budget.
• Tatum identifies longtime franchise producer Neal H. Moritz’s compensation as the key sticking point keeping the sequel from moving forward.
• He adds that he, Jonah Hill, and filmmakers Phil Lord and Chris Miller have agreed to lower their own producer fees to help make the movie feasible.
• Tatum praises the existing script for a third film, calling it the best he has read for himself and Hill.
• Plans for a Jump Street–Men in Black crossover surfaced years ago but fizzled, and Tatum says a sequel could still happen only if the financial structure changes.
