Jack Harlow and Sinqua Walls hit the court in White Men Can't Jump first look
House Party's Charles Kidd II directs the remake of the 1992 comedy with a script from Kenya Barris
30 years ago, cinema asked a question: Can white men jump? 1992's White Men Can’t Jump seemed to provide a sensible answer (re: some white men can’t jump, but Woody Harrelson sure can), but as is the scientific way, one test isn’t always enough. It may have taken Hollywood a second, but the investigation continues in our first look at 20th Century Studios’ remake of White Men Can’t Jump with rapper Jack Harlow testing out the theory this time around.
Stepping into the shoes of Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes from the original, White Men Can’t Jump stars Harlow and Friday Night Lights’ Sinqua Walls as two streetball rivals who begin working together in order to hustle other players for money. Like Harrelson in the 1992 film, Harlow’s character uses his slightly goofy appearance to trick players into thinking he’d be easy to beat, but surprise: he indeed can jump.
