The film's look was finalized in a DI theater at Colorworks on the Sony Pictures lot in Culver City. “We didn’t want to go too dark and not make it funny.”Ģ1 Jump Street is about a pair of undercover cops, Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum), who pose as high school students to bust a drug ring. “But we were constantly looking for balance,” adds Lord. “Visually, at least, it’s more realistic and feels more like a cop movie.” “We didn’t want it to be over-lit like a typical broad comedy,” explains Miller. That was a deliberate choice by directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who prefer to play their comedy with a straight face. On the contrary, much of the film more closely resembles the gritty, streetwise cop dramas it pokes fun at.
