movie - sequel or remake?
if they do a movie itd either have to be a sequel to the tv show – with Shatner playing the ORIGINAL TJ Hooker (and a new guy plays his son) then itd pretty much have to be an action drama (like the tv show or Lethal Weapon) as itd be a continuation of the series set today..
or
if they do a remake - it can be a Starsky & Hutch style action comedy - maybe even set in the ripe for ridicule 80s (as they seemed to be planning). Shatner dosnt play the original Hooker...but is still the father of TJ Hooker (new guy)
I guess itd have to be the latter as i dont see how a fairly serious action drama show (as TJ Hooker was)can suddenly change its tone and be a slapstick style romp...itd be like NYPD Blue doing a Police Academy style movie and getting Dennis Franz to goof about
although the 2004 Starsky & Hutch was made as a prequel to the original series...much like TOS and the new Star Trek movie, the origins of S&H and how they met had never been explored so they went with that...but added over the top comedy plus a confusing cameo for Glazer and Soul (did the future S&H get thrown back to the 70s via some red matter?)
cast if comedy remake
Hooker – Ben Stiller or Will Ferrel
Heather Locklears role – that blonde girl out of Transformers 4
Adrian Zmeds role – Brandon Routh?
Richard Herd role – David Soul
Hookers pops – Shatner of course
