Does a crossover between '21 Jump Street' and 'Men In Black' interest you?

Channing Tatum, in an interview with Variety, is talking about the chances of '23 Jump Street' happening: “I get asked more about ‘Jump Street 3’ than any other movie on the face of the planet that I’ve ever done. I don’t think it’ll ever happen. The problem is the overhead. It would cost as much as the actual budget of the film — if not more — because of all the producers involved. It’s just too top-heavy. It falls over every time.”

Tatum says the hold up is producer Neal H. Mortiz's producer fees as he, co-star Jonah Hill and directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller have all agreed to smaller fees: “Neal’s price for a producer fee is huge. And to be honest, that’s what’s killing it.”

The first two films came out in 2012 and 2014, and attempts to make a third have failed, including a crazy idea of crossing over with the characters of 'Men In Black.'
