It hasn't felt like Jack Harlow's rise from just another DJ Drama signee to the upper echelons of rap stardom has peaked yet, and sure enough, his takeover is now spanning outside of the music industry. Deadline reports that the Louisville rapper has been cast in a reboot of the 1992 comedy White Men Can't Jump – Harlow's role was originally played by Woody Harrelson, and Harlow reportedly got the part on his first audition.

Harlow's White Men Can't Jump will be directed by Calmatic, the music video director who lensed Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" video, from a script by Kenya Barris and Doug Hall. Blake Griffin, Ryan Kalil, and Noah Weinstein are credited as executive producers under their Mortal Media banner. Last month, Harlow shared a new single called "Nail Tech" and rode a Kanye West cosign to a feature on Donda 2
