"They're giant producers, y'know, on that. He went into more detail, citing Parkes, Steven Spielberg, Neil Moritz (the main producers on both franchises) as the main obstacle to making the film a reality. Tatum sounded off on the crossover during a recent chat with IGN, stating that he still thinks it could work. “If Sony would ever really, like, I think do the hard work and figure out the producer problems that are inherent with that film, I think we can still do it," he said. “Right now, I don't know why, they're just not motivated to do it. "It was a good intention, and everyone was smart, but when you really step back and look at what's at the heart of either of those two series of movies, they're not very compatible." And, actually, that doesn't mesh," added MacDonald's fellow MiB producer, Walter Parkes. Jump Street is taking very recognizable genre situations and going over the top with them. " Men in Black comes down to taking extraordinary situations and playing them in a comedic deadpan way. "It was just a crazy impulse that was worth exploring." "It was one of those things, because usually we all tire of everything trying to be made into a franchise, but to us it was actually such a crazy bold idea that's also the reason we said yes," longtime Men in Black producer Laurie MacDonald told CinemaBlend in 2019. Since the latter failed to kickstart the franchise back up after the original trilogy of films led by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, Sony/Columbia may decide to brush the cobwebs off Lord and Miller's script. The crossover with Jump Street, which actually debuted an official logo at CinemaCon in 2016, was pronounced dead five months prior to the release of International. Despite an attempt to reboot the series with a pair of hot Marvel stars - Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson - the film was a critical and box office disappointment. The Men in Black franchise eventually returned to the big screen in 2019's Men in Black: International. "It was very funny, it was very funny - trying to manage these two franchises and not drive them both into the ground seemed like a real challenge." Miller went on to say that the movie would have spun out of the end credits of 22 Jump Street, which poked fun at the idea of sequel fatigue. “Basically, the idea was that Jonah and Channing …a thing happened while they were doing their medical school adventure that got them embroiled into the world of Men in Black and they ended up teaming up to stop an alien takeover type of thing," he added.
