    Wyatt Russell, son of Kurt, to joining Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill in ’22 Jump Street’

    MUMBAI: Wyatt Russell, the son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, is joining Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill in 22 Jump Street, the sequel to Sony’s hit action comedy 21 Jump Street.

     

    Phil Lord and Chris Miller are back in the director’s chair for the movie, which moves the undercover cop conceit from high school to college.

     

    The part is a major coup for Russell, who up until now has been known for his minor league hockey career. (In fact, he played a hockey player in last year’s Judd Apatow comedy This Is 40.) But he has been slowly making in-roads into screen work, with recent credits that include Cowboys & Aliens and Love and Honor, a drama that also starred Liam Hemsworth and Teresa Palmer.

     

    His part in Jump Street is sizable: He plays a frat brother who bonds with Tatum’s character and is the lead suspect in the case.

     

    Russell, repped by UTA, is currently shooting Cold in July opposite Michael C. Hall and will also play the role of Bobby Orr in the indie hockey movie Turk opposite Ed Burns and Logan Marshall Green.

    Sony has confirmed a fourth installment for the Men in Black franchise

    MUMBAI: Sony has just confirmed that the fourth installment of the Men in Black (MIB) franchise is definitely on the way. It was revealed that the studio has hired a writer to pen the fourth film, said The Hollywood Reporter.
     
    The sci-fi quadrilogy is still in its early stages, so there’s still no word on Will Smith’s association yet. Last year, Sony released the third installment in their hit MIB franchise, MIB 3 which went on to gross a franchise best $624 million and received warm reviews.
     
    Oren Uziel, who is also penning the sequel to 21 Jump Street, has been hired to write MIB 4. 21 Jump Street already has a release date of 6 June 2014.
     
    Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are back reprising their roles as underachieving cops and so are Phil Lord and Chris Miller as directors.
