Valderrama saddles up for 'CHiPs' remake

Thu Dec 8, 3:26 AM ET



LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Wilmer Valderrama, who plays Fez on "That '70s Show," will star as motorcycle cop Ponch in a big-screen version of "CHiPs."
Warner Bros. Pictures, which recently brought TV staples "Starsky & Hutch" and "The Dukes of Hazzard" to theaters with much success, has just acquired the rights for the series.
    Erik Estrada famously originated the Ponch role in "CHiPs," which ran on NBC in the late 1970s and followed the adventures of California Highway Patrol motorcycle officers Francis "Ponch" Poncherello and Jon Baker. Larry Wilcox played Baker.
The show had a serious macho tone, but over the years has achieved a cheesy, cult status. Sources say the project was built around the involvement of Valderrama, who is working on the final season of "That '70s Show" and appears in "The Darwin Awards," an indie that will screen at Sundance in January.
The action comedy has no producer and no director attached. The script will be written Paul Kaplan and Mark Torgove, who are writer-executive producers on "   George Lopez."

For what it's worth... I love CHiPs the tv show, cheesy or not.

I heard about that yesterday on (of ALL places) FoxNews. I guess it's going to be a spoof/comedy like Starsky and Hutch.

BTW: Is it just me, or does that guy look strung out on something? I've seen crack whores who didn't look so haggard...what's up with that?
