Where is my movies for Mannix, Cagney and Lacey, Hunter, Magnum PI, Columbo, Sledge Hammer, the Highwayman, Time Traxx, or Quantum Leap? There is still more to mine, oh land of unoriginal ideas!

“T.J. Hooker” is headed for the bigscreen as an action comedy with David Foster, Ryan Heppe and series creator Rick Husky producing.

Chuck Russell (“The Scorpion King,” “The Mask”) is in talks to direct. 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.

No actors have been cast yet for the feature.

The TV series, produced by Aaron Spelling, debuted in 1982 on ABC and ran for five seasons, the last on CBS. William Shatner starred as a no-nonsense patrol sergeant, with Adrian Zmed, Heather Locklear, Richard Herd and James Darren as co-stars.

Action comedy, you say? Sort of like Starsky and Hutch? And will they get the guy who played Kirk in Star Trek to play TJ Hooker here? Because you pretty much have to get Chris Pine.
