The Hollywood Reporter announced on Tuesday night that Universal acquired an action-comedy movie about "a group of failed rappers who attempt to rob an eccentric hip-hop mogul." The script is by Alex Blagg and Neel Shah, and Kevin Hart has signed on to produce. The name of the film? Run the Jewels.

As anyone with even a passing familiarity with their oeuvre​ might expect, the members of the already-existing rap duo Run the Jewels did not take kindly to the news. RTJ member Jaime "El-P" Meline took to Twitter to announce his feelings about the new movie using his group's name.
