Channing Tatum has addressed the likelihood of a third Jump Street movie being made – and is calling out one of the series' producers for not taking a pay cut on the prospective threequel.

"I get asked more about Jump Street 3 than any other movie on the face of the planet that I've ever done," Tatum told Variety. "I don’t think it'll ever happen. The problem is the overhead. It would cost as much as the actual budget of the film – if not more – because of all the producers involved. It's just too top-heavy. It falls over every time."

Those financial woes seemingly fall on one person according to Tatum – Neal H. Moritz, producer on the Jump Street, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Fast and Furious films.

“Neal's price for a producer fee is huge. And to be honest, that's what's killing it," Tatum concluded.
