It looks like Johnny Depp will return to his old stomping ground. The actor will reportedly film a small cameo for the big-screen reboot of '21 Jump Street.'
A source revealed to EW.com that it's likely Depp will stop by for an uncredited cameo in movie, but no other details have been released.
Depp starred in the '80s crime-fighting TV show, in which young-looking undercover cops helped crack teen crime. The updated movie version, which was co-written by 'Get Him to the Greek' star Jonah Hill and Michael Bacall, places a slimmed-down Hill and Channing Tatum in the lead roles.
"It's an entirely new imagination of what '21 Jump Street' is," Hill told MTV News last year. "We're not doing a spoof whatsoever. It will be crazy characters that are in very unreal circumstances sometimes."
Hill hoped that Depp would consider popping in for a cameo.
"Hopefully, he does it...It would be awesome if he did," Hill said, and in a separate interview, Depp soon followed up by saying, "It could be very funny...I'm in, I'm in."
Filming on '21 Jump Street' movie started this week in New Orleans.
