Jonah Hill News

We hope you aren't sick of Superbad star Jonah Hill.

Because the comic actor has a slew of movies slated for 2009 and 2010, included the one he recently focused on during an interview with MTV.

"It's like a Shrek type of movie, or like Kung Fu Panda," Hill said about the project he's currently working on, entitled How to Train Your Dragon. "It's an awesome animation movie."

How to Train Your Dragon is based on a children's book. The plot follows young Hiccup Horrendous Hancock III on his quest to capture a fearsome dragon. Hill provides the voice of Snotlout, the resident bully.

The movie's release date was recently pushed to March 26, 2010 to make way for the onslaught of 3-D films including A Christmas Carol and Avatar.

"[They're making this] with myself and America Ferrara, and Jay Baruchel is in it," Hill said of his co-starring cast, which also includes 300 star Gerard Butler.

"It'll be awesome," Hill said. "I'm sure they'll make a big deal out of it when it comes out, because those animation movies are cool and really popular."

First, talk of a Fraggle Rock movie? And now a 21 Jump Street movie?

What year is this?!?

We certainly aren't complaining, though, as Jonah Hill is reportedly being considered for the big screen adaption of 21 Jump Street.

The Superbad star is in negotiations to develop a movie based on the 1980s TV show that starred Johnny Depp. Sony confirms the actor will, at minimum,  work on the screenplay and serve as executive producer.

The series, which ran from 1987 to 1991, centered on a group of young cops whose youthful appearance allowed them to work undercover in high schools and colleges, searching for troubled kids.

This would be a surprise bit of casting:

Jonah Hill is in early negotiations to costar opposite Shia LaBeouf in Transformers 2, according to a report in Entertainment Weekly.

Hill (Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall) would provide the comic relief as a sidekick to Shia's Sam Witwicky, likely portraying Sam's college roommate. The sequel is set to begin shooting this summer.
