Last November, 20th Century Studios announced it would be remaking the beloved 1992 film, which stars Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson hustling their way to the top of the Los Angeles street basketball scene.

Directed by filmmaker Calmatic (who also directed the House Party remake), the White Men Can’t Jump remake is written by Doug Hall, and Black-ish creator Kenya Barris. NBA star Blake Griffin, Ryan Kalil and Noah Weinstein are executive producing the film under Mortal Media. Hall and E. Brian Dobbins are also listed as executive producers.

Most notable, though, is Harrelson’s replacement as former college basketball player Billy Hoyle.

Stepping into the iconic role will be rapper Jack Harlow, according to Deadline.

Serving as Harlow’s acting debut, Deadline reported that the 23-year-old nailed his first-ever screen audition, and has pushed White Men Can’t Jump filmmakers and executives to quickly find a co-star to take over for Snipes as streetball legend Sidney Deane.

However, despite Harlow’s growing stardom and a stellar performance in last month’s NBA Celebrity All-Star Game (the “What’s Poppin” rapper recorded an impressive steal and nailed a pair of long-range three-pointers), fans of the original film have been vocal about 20th Century’s decision to cast him as Hoyle.

“Woody Harrelson played college basketball,” Twitter user @Bbburner19 wrote. “Jack Harlow doesn’t seem to have any acting or hoop talents, and is likely very wrong for this role.”

“Wow, another white rapper becoming a movie star within two years of his career or whatever,” another Twitter user added.

Amid a sea of tweets speculating about Harlow’s abilities as both an actor and a basketball player, many Twitter users questioned whether a White Men Can’t Jump remake is necessary at all.

“White Men Can’t Jump was perfectly cast,” @BecksWelker tweeted. “It’s a perfect film. You don’t need to remake every movie just because they’re old.”

Relaying a similar message, Twitter user @gogh_shawty assured that Harlow (and whoever is cast as Deane) will never be able to recreate the on-screen magic White Men Can’t Jump created 30 years ago.

“Can’t beat the 90s swag that Woody and Wes had, or the soundtrack,” they wrote. “Those two things were a huge piece of the heart of that film.”

Not all internet users were dismayed at Harlow’s inclusion in the film’s remake, however.

Charlotte Hornets’ All-Star guard and 2021 NBA Rookie of the Year LaMelo Ball showed his approval, tweeting just one word: “hard,” with a pair “100” emojis included.

More than a year after releasing his debut studio album, That’s What They All Say, in Dec. 2020, Harlow’s casting as Hoyle comes on the heels of two major music moments for the Louisville, KY rapper.

“Nail Tech,” Harlow’s newest single, recently debuted at #18 on the Billboard Hot 100. Harlow also appeared on Ye’s Donda 2, and performed alongside the “Off The Grid” rapper at an album-listening event in Miami, FL.

After Ye posted a clip of “Nail Tech” on his usually-volatile Instagram feed, Harlow re-posted the clip to his own account, and described being recognized by Ye as, “One of the greatest moments of my life.”
