Original Film and Lord/Miller Productions are set to begin production on the Columbia Pictures action comedy feature film "22 Jump Street", and the casting directors in Los Angeles and New Orleans have been holding auditions for lead, co-starring and supporting roles as college students. Extras are now being registered and will be cast throughout filming, with a very large amount of college age people needed. Film crew members are also being hired. Shooting is taking place in New Orleans, Louisiana. The movie is a sequel to the hit 2012 film "21 Jump Street". Shooting will get underway in October, 2013 and will continue through December, 2013.  Additional filming will take place in Puerto Rico. The release date is scheduled for June 13, 2014.

"22 Jump Street" leads off where the first film ended. Officers Schmidt and Jenko go deep undercover at a local college. But when Jenko meets a kindred spirit on the football team and Schmidt infiltrates the bohemian art major scene, they begin to question their partnership. In addition to cracking the case, the two freshmen must figure out if they can have a mature relationship like real men.

Starring in "22 Jump Street" is Academy Award nominee Jonah Hill reprising the role of  Morton Schmidt. Hill has starred in a long string of hit movies including "Superbad," "Get Him to the Greek," "Moneyball," and "The Sitter". He recently wrapped shooting on Leonardo DiCaprio's "The Wolf of Wall Street", and "True Story" starring James Franco. Also returning is Channing Tatum playing Greg Jenko. Tatum recently portrayed Olympic Wrestling Champion Mark Schultz in the film "Foxcatcher". He is currently filming the Warner Bros. Pictures feature film "Jupiter Ascending" starring alongside Mila Kunis and Sean Bean. Image Awards winner Ice Cube returns in the role of Captain Dickson.

Filmmakers Phil Lord and Chris Miller return in the directors chairs for this sequel. The two, who are both former animators, recently directed the animated feature film "The Lego Movie". Producing "22 Jump Street" is Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum. Primetime Emmy Award nominee and Original Film principal Neal H. Moritz will also produce. Original Film production executive Tania Landau will executive produce along with Producers Guild of America PGA Award nominee Reid Carolin. Columbia Pictures will handle domestic distribution.
