Directed by music video filmmaker Calmatic, and with NBA star Blake Griffin set to produce, Harlow will take on Harrelson’s role as Billy Hoyle, but it's currently unknown whether the film will keep Hoyle’s name. According to Deadline, Harlow's first screen audition was impressive enough for him to be offered the role on the spot.
Harlow appeared at The MET Gala last month where he admitted that prior to landing the role, he never watched the original White Men Can't Jump.
“Can I be honest,” Harlow told Vogue. “I was obviously familiar with it, it’s an iconic title and I’ve seen the movie poster, but I didn’t watch it until I got offered the role. I see why it’s a classic.”
The original released in 1992 and starred Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson, Rosie Perez and more.
