T.J. Hooker, the movie?

by Brad Trechak, posted Jul 6th 2009 9:09AM

T.J. HookerWith the success of the Star Trek movie, it's no surprise that someone is trying to make a movie out of one of Shatner's other major television roles. T.J. Hooker is being adapted for the big screen.

Who could they get to fill his massive shoes for this one? The movie is intended as an action comedy, so I don't see Chris Pine as the lead. Perhaps Jack Black?

I never really watched the show, but I do recall the funny sketch from SNL when Shatner was a guest host. Hooker jumped on a car hood and was stuck there while the car continued to drive for a few states.

It would be kind of typical to not have a cameo by Shatner in the remake. After all, he didn't appear in the Star Trek movie.

I'm sure Hollywood is not done mining Shatner's legacy for the movie adaptation game. Next up, Boston Legal the movie.

They won't do a Boston Legal movie until they do a Barbary Coast movie. Period piece ripe for the picking.

Whatever happens, I hope that some producer/director/big wig finds a good vehicle for Shatner. He is a comic genius; his portrayal of Denny Crane in Boston Legal was one of the best characters ever.

This could be a really funny comedy or a god awful action movie.

I hope they don't remake it. His perm alone is enough to give me nightmares, but I have a feeling a TJH remake would yield post-90s Starsky & Hutch results.
