Sony develops female '21 Jump Street' movie

Movie studio Sony is working on a female-centric "21 Jump Street" movie.

"Broad City" writers Lucia Aniello and Paul Downs are tapped for an untitled female-driven film based on the tone of the franchise starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, reported Aceshowbiz.

In the meantime, the original movie which is adapted from a vintage TV show starring Johnny Depp has spawned a sequel "22 Jump Street" and will be followed with a third one.

Rodney Rothman from the second movie is set to return to write script for the threequel, while directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller will produce it.
