If you’ve never seen or even heard of the American cop drama “CHiPS” then you were probably born in the 90’s and have a life which doesn’t allow you to watch Bravo on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Well, as with most things retro, there’s a film adaptation on the way and Wilmer Valderrama (you may know him as Fez from “That 70’s Show”) who is set to play Ponch, recently talked to Rotten Tomatoes about the project, which - I might add - is currently in pre-production.

“First of all, I got to honor the general persona and the generalized iconic character that he built, but I’m excited to bring my own colors to the character,” said Valderrama. “Obviously not take him too serious but have a lot of fun with him.”

“I’ve been really busy so we haven’t been able to figure out when we’re going to get into that. We’re in pre-production right now. The script is super solid. It’s fantastic. It’s literally the answer to every attempt that was there before. And it’ll be sometime next year but I think I have to do one or two projects before I get to CHiPs but that’s definitely happening.”

Yeh, I thought there’d be more too. Nevermind, Ponch will fix it all soon enough.
