Somewhere Right Now Adrian Zmed Weeps Tears of Joy.

Even though it lacked William Shatner which plenty of folks bitched about last year, Star Trek currently sits as the third highest grossing film of 2009 with everyone (Paramount, the general public, fanboys, etc.) chomping at the bits for its sequel.

So using the oh-so logical thinking of Hollywood, plans are now underway to adapt "that other popular Shatner television series" for the silver screen. No, not Rescue 911 or Boston Legal. I'm talking about T.J. Hooker, of course.

As per the trades, no actors are currently attached to the project. Cut to 100% Grade-A Internet bullshit rumors of Chris Pine's participation. Just you wait. On the other hand, Chuck Russell (whose directorial filmography includes Eraser, The Mask and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors) is currently "in talks" for directing duties. The film will apparently be in the "action-comedy" vein not unlike Starsky & Hutch - which means it'll be "frat boy" humor and stuffed up the ass with celebrity cameos.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd rather see a CHiPs movie instead.
