Johnny Depp To Make Cameo In 21 Jump Street Movie

ComingSoon confirms that the star will have a cameo in Columbia Pictures’ adaptation of 21 Jump Street, the television crime drama that transformed him into an 1980s teen idol and helped to kick-start his career.

Airing on Fox from 1987 to 1991, 21 Jump Street centered on a squad of young-looking undercover police officers who investigated crimes at high schools and colleges. The series featured a cast that included Holly Robinson, Dustin Nguyen, Peter DeLuise and Michael DeLuise, but Depp and Richard Grieco emerged as the breakout stars.

Rewritten by Jonah Hill from a draft by Josh Applebaum and Michael Bacall, the movie is reportedly an action-comedy about two cops (Hill and Channing Tatum) who go undercover as teenage brothers to bust a high school drug ring. The cast also features Ice Cube, Brie Larson, Rob Riggle, DeRay Davis, Dave Franco and Jake Johnson. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs) are directing.

21 Jump Street is filming now for March 16, 2012, release.

A Close-Up Look At Spider-Man’s Full Costume, Complete With Mask

Following days of blurry photos from the Los Angeles set of Spider-Man, MTV’s Splash Page has the first clear, close-up look at the wall-crawler’s full costume, including his mask and those shiny metal discs.

Before anyone gets too excited, or upset, note that what we’re seeing is likely a slightly less-detailed version of the costume designed for stunt shots (much like the photo that emerged in September from the set of Captain America: The First Avenger).

Swing by Splash Page to see details of the mask, gloves and web-shooters.

The Marc Webb-directed reboot of the Sony franchise stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Irrfan Khan, Denis Leary, Chris Zylka, Campbell Scott, C. Thomas Howell, Julianne Nicholson and Annie Parisse. The film, which began production last month, will be released on July 3, 2012.
