Jonah Hill is making an "insane" version of '21 Jump Street'.

The 'Superbad' star is making a film spin-off of the cult 80s TV show - which starred Johnny Depp - and says he only agreed to take part if he could apply his own vision to the project.

He said: "Sony said they were gonna let me make my kind of movie - an R-rated, insane, 'Bad-Boys'-meets-John Hughes-type movie - and I told them the second they don't, I'm not gonna be involved anymore."

We're not even spoofing the movie. It's not strictly comedic, either. We're doing a full-on action movie, blowing s**t up.

Jonah has previously said he is looking to make the movie more comedic angering fans of the original police drama, but he insists the show was always funny.

He added to Complex magazine: "If you look at the opening episode of '21 Jump Street,' you see a man looking at a picture of a cop holding a little boy's hand, and you hear a crazy saxophone solo, and you pan up and it's Johnny Depp looking at the picture playing the crazy saxophone solo.
