Leaving Hulu on February 14

Director: Alex Proyas

Screenplay: Jeff Vintar, Akiva Goldsman

Cast: Will Smith, Bridget Moynahan, Bruce Greenwood, James Cromwell, Chi McBride, Alan Tudyk

Set in 2035, I, Robot takes place during a period where technology and robots have become central to human society, much to the disdain of techno-phobic homicide detective Del Spooner (Will Smith). As part of the Chicago PD force, Spooner is in charge of investigating the suicide of the leading but reclusive robotics scientist, Dr. Alred Lanning (James Cromwell). Convinced that there’s a hidden and more sinister motive lurking underneath Lanning’s apparent suicide, Del Spooner gets deeper into the case, only to encounter the late doctor’s plans with the USR (United States Robotics) corporation. Surrounding Del Spooner are characters that put the detective’s biases toward robots to the test, including robot psychologist Dr. Susan Calvin (Bridget Moynahan), the emotional-leaning robot Sonny (Alan Tudyk), and Lt . John Bergin (Chi McBride).

21 Jump Street first takes audiences back to 2005, when Schmidt (Hill) and Jenko (Tatum) were your typical high school duo – one acing class, the other coasting through as the athletic cool dude.

But after a goof-up, they’re sent undercover back to the good ol’ high school scene to track down a sketchy synthetic drug. There’s a bit of an identity mix-up, landing Schmidt in the easy classes, trying out for Peter Pan, and catching feelings for a fellow classmate. Meanwhile, Jenko’s in AP classes and rubbing elbows with the overachievers. Their return to high school becomes one big trigger that reveals their long-lost dreams — they’ll have to pull themselves together before bad guys take over.
