White Men Can’t Jump is getting back into the game.

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.

Funny thing too - Neither Harrelson nor Snipes knew how to play basketball. They had to be trained and choreographed for weeks getting the skils down right.

But it is a good movie.

What a total fallacy.

I am sure white people will just flock to this garbage.

Hollywood is really scraping the bottom of the barrel now. I liked the original movie, but a remake?
