Blake Griffin Plans To Remake Classic Movie ‘White Men Can’t Jump’

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Blake Griffin is teaming up with Carolina Panther Ryan Kalil and ‘Black-ish’ creator Kenya Barris, to start producing a remake of my favorite basketball movie of all time – ‘White men can’t jump’.

The 1992 classic was directed by Ron Shelton, starring Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson as streetball hustlers. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen the movie, but I’m no fan of this planned remake. Some things need to be left alone.

Kenya Barris, the creator of ABC’s acclaimed comedy Black-ish, is teaming with Blake Griffin of the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers and Ryan Kalil of the NFL’s Carolina Panthers to develop a remake of the 1992 sports comedy for 20th Century Fox.

Barris will write the script for the project, which falls under his overall film deal with Fox that he signed in September. Barris also will act as a producer.

Griffin and Kalil are producing via their Mortal Media banner, along with their partner Noah Weinstein.
