“White Men Can’t Jump”, the first of two ’90s comedies Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes made together (they’d later reteam for “Money Train”), is getting the remake treatment.
Kenya Barris, creator of TV’s “Black-ish”, is teaming with athletes Blake Griffin (Los Angeles Clippers) and Ryan Kalil (Carolina Panthers, to redo the 1992 comedy, says THR.
The original film, directed by Ron Shelton, starred Harrelson and Snipes as basketball hustlers who try to hustle each other before turning their attention to a bigger score. Rosie Perez co-starred.
Fox, who produced the original surprise hit, have 2017’s “White Men Can’t Jump”.
Griffin and Kalil are also producing a remake of another ’90s classic, “The Rocketeer”.
