The first trailer has dropped for the 20th Century Studios reboot of White Men Can’t Jump, starring Sinqua Walls (Friday Night Lights) and rapper Jack Harlow in his acting debut. The film will begin streaming on May 19, 2023, exclusively on Hulu in the U.S., Star+ in Latin America, and Disney+ under the Star banner in all other territories.
White Men Can’t Jump is a modern retelling of the iconic 1992 film that celebrates the streetball hustling culture of Los Angeles led by Wesley Snipes and the father of 420 culture Woody Harrelson. The reboot stars Sinqua Walls as Kamal, once a promising player who derailed his future in the sport, and multi-platinum rap superstar Jack Harlow, who makes his movie debut as Jeremy, a former star of the game whose injuries stalled his own career. Juggling tenuous relationships, financial pressures and serious internal struggles, the two ballers—opposites who are seemingly miles apart—find they might have more in common than they imagined possible.
Teyana Taylor Says Fans Can ‘Look Forward’ to Her Doing ‘Her Thing’
Little about Teyana Taylor’s (Coming 2 America) role in White Men Can’t Jump has been revealed to fans. But in a February 2023 interview with Entertainment Tonight, the star hinted that her fans can “look forward to seeing [her] do [her] thing” in the film.” Although her answer was a bit cryptic, the actress famously left behind a singing career in 2021.
Taylor’s costar shared a similar sentiment when ET, saying “It’s good, I’ll tell you that.”
He continued, “I’ve seen a good amount of it now; I was waiting to see it and this was my first [time]. I was nervous, you know, typically I control my products. Putting this in someone else’s hands, I was just a cog in a machine. So I hope it’s good, pretty happy with what I’ve seen.”
Directed by Calmatic, White Men Can’t Jump also stars Laura Harrier (Spider-Man: Homecoming), Vince Staples (Abbott Elementary), Myles Bullock (Runaways), and the late Lance Reddick (The Wire). The film is written by Kenya Barris and Doug Hall and produced by Kenya Barris and Paul Hall; it’s executive produced by Blake Griffin, Ryan Kalil, Noah Weinstein, Calmatic, Doug Hall, E. Brian Dobbins, and James Powers.
