T.J. Hooker
William Shatner's 1980s TV police drama T.J. Hooker is to get a movie makeover.
The action series, produced by TV mogul Aaron Spelling, premiered on the small screen in 1982, with Shatner starring as the title character.
The show is now set for a modern revival - series creator Rick Husky will oversee the transition to cinemas as a producer, while The Scorpion King director Chuck Russell is in talks to take charge of the project, reports industry paper Daily Variety.
No actors have been cast in the film as yet.
Shatner played the title role of T.J Hooker, a fifteen year veteran police sergeant, in the show between 1982 to 1985 and remains one of the actor's most famous roles.
T.J Hooker comes hot off the heels of the re-boot of the Star Trek franchise by creator of Lost J.J Abrams.
The film went back to the beginning of the Star Trek story with the crew setting in the Starship enterprise for the very first time.
But Leonard Nimoy was the only member of the original cast that appeared in the film that was a critical and commercial success.
