To paraphrase Wesley Snipes circa 1992, "I only have [five] words for you: 'White Men Can't Jump' [remake]." That's right, you favorite comedic basketball hustlers, or a 2023 facsimile of them, are back in a Hulu original film that's coming your way this May. It's been over 30 years since Snipes issued his immortal declaration to Woody Harrelson about the slam-dunking abilities, or lack thereof, of white guys on the b-ball court, and now a new generation of actors and filmmakers is here to update the story for the streaming age.

We first heard about the "White Men Can't Jump" remake way back in early 2017, so it's been gestating for a while, with "black-ish" creator Kenya Barris attached to write. NBA player Blake Griffin and former NFL player Ryan Kalil are set to produce alongside Barris through their production company Mortal Media. In late 2021, we finally got an update on the project with the news that Calmatic,...

Jack Harlow’s film debut in the “White Men Can’t Jump” remake is finally here, and we are getting a “First Class,” first look into the Kenya Barris-written flick.

The remake, which riffs on the 1992 comedy starring Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, stars Harlow and Sinqua Walls as an unsuspecting duo who wins a fortune in pickup basketball by hustling their opponents.

The film’s teaser highlights the unlikely friendship between Harlow and Walls’ characters — cue Harlow meditating courtside before a game and Walls promising their rivals “he’s almost done” — while giving a peek behind the curtain of the duo’s signature hustle and what can go wrong in their plan.

20th Century Studios has unveiled the first footage of its remake of “White Men Can’t Jump,” starring Sinqua Walls and Jack Harlow.

Set to Skee-Lo’s “I Wish,” the 30-second clip features footage of the two playing basketball and arguing the merits of the finest cinematic artists of our time.

“I’m like the P. T. Anderson of basketball psychological warfare,” Harlow’s character, named Jeremy, says in the trailer, referring to Anderson as “our greatest living director.”

“Spike Lee is our greatest living director,” Walls’ Kamal responds.

Released in 1992, the original “White Men Can’t Jump” starred Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson as a pair of street basketball hustlers who team up for a big match-up. Written and directed by Ron Shelton, the sports comedy was a box office success upon release and has garnered a reputation as one of the more beloved studio films of the ’90s.

Sinqua Walls and Jack Harlow are ready to play ball in the first teaser for Hulu's "White Men Can't Jump" reboot - or at least they will be once Harlow stops meditating. On Feb. 5, the streamer debuted the first look at the upcoming film, which is set to put a modern spin on the classic 1992 film starring Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson.

In the teaser, Walls and Harlow test out their buddy comedy energy as they debate who the best director alive is. Harlow is team Paul Thomas Anderson, while Walls's character's vote goes to Spike Lee. "Spike Lee is our greatest living director," Walls says. This prompts Harlow to shoot back, "Spike Lee isn't even a good Knicks fan."

News that Walls was joining Harlow in the reboot of the classic 1992 sports comedy first broke in April 2022. The actor previously appeared in Netflix 2021 rom-com "Resort to Love" opposite Christina Milian.

Apple TV+ has released the first trailer for Hello Tomorrow!, an upcoming dramedy set in a retro-future world filled with fantastic mid-century hovercars.

The promotional train for Dahmer may have started late, but the lack of publicity for the series has seemingly resulted in more interest.

Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story beat Netflix records in its first week on the streaming service.

After just five days available, it secured 196.2 million hours of viewership, allowing it to hit the #1 spot in several countries.

The numbers make Dahmer the highest first week of viewership for a series debut on Netflix.

Granted, the numbers were probably helped by the fact that the series dropped on a Wednesday instead of a Friday.

We'll have more concrete numbers when the show has been available for longer.

The series narrowly beat Inventing Anna, which netted 195.97 million hours viewed.

Squid Game, which became the streamer's most-watched show ever, kicked off with just over 63 million hours viewed.
