First look at the cast of 21 Jump Street

Hot on the heels of news that Johnny Depp would be cameoing in the movie version of 21 Jump Street , some behind the scene snaps from the film have surfaced online.

Most notable from the shots is the amount of weight Jonah Hill has lost for the role, with the Superbad actor looking the slimmest he has in years.

21 Jump Street is currently filming in New Orleans, with Hill and Channing Tatum playing police officers who go undercover at a high school for a drug bust.

Depp starred in the '80s TV series on which the show is based, and will be making a cameo appearance in the film.
