Grammy-nominated rapper Jack Harlow is making his feature film debut in \u201cWhite Men Can\u2019t Jump\u201d, a remake of the 1992 sports comedy.<\/p>\n
Charles Kidd II, known professionally as Calmatic, is directing the reboot from a script by \u201cBlack-ish\u201d creator Kenya Barris and Doug Hall.<\/p>\n
In the new take on \u201cWhite Men Can\u2019t Jump\u201d, Harlow is playing the role that Woody Harrelson portrayed in the original film, reports Variety.<\/p>\n
That movie, written and directed by Ron Shelton, starred Wesley Snipes and Harrelson as street basketball hustlers who begin at odds with each other and then team up for a bigger game. The filmmakers are currently in the process of finding the actor to fill the role originated by Snipes.<\/p>\n
They are also auditioning people to portray Harlow\u2019s character\u2019s longtime girlfriend, an aspiring \u201cJeopardya\u201d contestant played by Rosie Perez in the 1992 film.<\/p>\n
Barris is producing the film through his company Khalabo Ink Society. Brooklyn Nets basketball star Blake Griffin, Ryan Kalil and Noah Weinstein will serve as executive producers through their label Mortal Media. Hall and E. Brian Dobbins will also executive produce.<\/p>\n
Harlow recently showed off his basketball chops in this year\u2019s NBA All-Star Weekend\u2019s Celebrity Game, but it was his audition that sealed the deal and won over the filmmaking team behind the movie.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, he dropped the single \u201cNail Tech\u201d, his first new solo release since his major-label debut album \u201cThat\u2019s What They All Say\u201d.<\/p>\n
In between filming \u201cWhite Men Can\u2019t Jump\u201d, Harlow is headlining the three-day Forecastle Festival in his home state of Kentucky.<\/p>\n
