T.J. HOOKER: The Action Comedy Movie!!
Merrick here...
I love that shot of Zmed rolling over the hood of the police car; would've been fast for him to walk around the vehicle.
The writing team of Brent Maddock and S.S. Wilson will script the story, which focuses on the relationship between the title character and his father.
...says THIS article in Variety.
The Aaron Spelling produced TV series on which this is based began in 1982 & and ran for five seasons on ABC. I found the notion of Heather Locklear in a police uniform fetishistically overwhelming and would frequently adjust my sexytime fantasizings accordingly.
Scribes Maddock and Wilson were among the writers on the WILD WILD WEST movie (ahem ) and also scripted the original SHORT CIRCUIT films. At the moment, Chuck Russell (THE SCORPION KING, ERASER, THE MASK) is angling to direct.
