The world premiere of "21 Jump Street" will serve as one of the centerpieces of the 2012 South by Southwest Film Conference and Festival, SXSW organizers announced on Wednesday.
The new film, based on the late-'80s television show that launched Johnny Depp's career, stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as youthful cops who go undercover in a local high school. It was directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, and will screen at SXSW on Monday, March 12.
