Hill had originally passed up the opportunity due to scheduling conflicts but the subsequent dropouts of Shia LaBeouf and Jesse Eisenberg allowed Warner Bros. to circle back to the _22 Jump Street_ star, _Variety_ reported. The film, entitled _Arms and the Dudes_, is based on a _Rolling Stone_ article by Guy Lawson. Miles Teller, who most recently starred in _Divergent_ and _That Awkward Moment_, has reportedly been signed on as Hill’s co-star. \[[_Variety_](http://variety.com/2014/film/news/todd-phillips-eyes-jonah-hill-arms-and-the-dudes-1201369901/ "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3617571/jonah-hill-todd-phillips-arms-and-the-dudes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3617571/jonah-hill-todd-phillips-arms-and-the-dudes/"},"headline":"Jonah Hill Is Being Lined Up for Todd Phillips' Next Film Arms and the Dudes","datePublished":"2014-12-04T07:41:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T02:33:52.244Z","description":"Miles Teller has reportedly been cast alongside the 22 Jump Street star","url":"https://time.com/3617571/jonah-hill-todd-phillips-arms-and-the-dudes/","keywords":["movies","Jonah Hill","Shia LaBeouf","Warner Bros."],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3cec28559032d162/69876c8e0b72e370876dc563/jonah-hill.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rishi Iyengar","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/rishi-iyengar/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3cec28559032d162/69876c8e0b72e370876dc563/jonah-hill.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Jonah Hill","caption":"Jonah Hill.","creditText":"Brad Barket—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3617571/jonah-hill-todd-phillips-arms-and-the-dudes/","name":"Jonah Hill Is Being Lined Up for Todd Phillips' Next Film Arms and the Dudes"}}]}] ```
