Street Rat

Dave Franco, younger bro of  James Franco has landed a supporting villain role in the film version of 21 Jump Street, reports Deadline.



Michael Bacall ("Scott Pilgrim vs. the World") wrote the R-rated script in which Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum play a pair of undercover cops working in high schools and colleges. The tone has been described as “John Hughes meets ‘Bad Boys'".

Franco  is gonna play Eric, a high school student who also happens to be a psycho drug dealer.

Might the elder Franco cameo as well? I mean he's doing every other movie is he not?



Comedian Rob Riggle joined cast recently as the main villain  Brie Larson is the lead female. Ice Cube plays the captain of the two cops.

The notion of original TV Series  star Johnny Depp making a cameo for the pic is a real possibility

Chris Miller and Phil Lord ("Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs") are directing.

Filming kicks off later this month.

The pic is set to hit theaters in March 16, 2012.
