Rapper Jack Harlow Cast in ‘White Men Can't Jump’ Reboot

Thirty years after the original movie left its mark, the reboot of the beloved White Men Can't Jump has a new lead.

Rapper Jack Harlow has been cast in the role made famous by Woody Harrelson, according to Deadline's Justin Kroll. It will be the 23-year-old’s first-ever film role after he landed the gig with an impressive audition.

The original film, written and directed by Ron Shelton, stars Harrelson and Wesley Snipes as foes-turned-friends who play street basketball to hustle for money. The reboot will be directed by Calmatic, who just directed the upcoming remake of House Party, with a script from Black-ish creator Kenya Barris.
