After years of development, the White Men Can’t Jump remake finally got off the ground about 11 months ago when it was officially announced that rapper/actor Jack Harlow would star in the film – taking on the role parallel to the one that Woody Harrelson played in the original.
With no caption, Jack Harlow himself shared the debut footage from the new White Men Can’t Jump on his personal Twitter page.
The original White Men Can’t Jump is rightfully viewed as one of the best basketball movies ever made, and it’s aged tremendously well – in large part because of the charms of stars Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson, and Rosie Perez (who has voiced criticism of the remake being made).
Unlike that movie, however, White Men Can’t Jump isn’t going to be going to theaters, and instead it’s going to be a Hulu original (hopefully it will end up getting a better critical reception than House Party).
