Guardians Of The Galaxy director James Gunn is set to executive produce a brand new Starsky & Hutch TV series. The project is being set-up over at Sony Pictures TV, and is about to be pitched to broadcast, cable and streaming networks, according to Deadline.
James Gunn is writing the one-hour ‘procedural’, along with his brother Brian and their cousin Mark.
Starsky & Hutch was a hugely popular television series, which ran for four seasons from 1975 to 1979. The original work, created by William Blinn, centered on two detectives, David Michael Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) and the by-the-book Kenneth Richard “Hutch” Hutchinson (David Soul), traversing the streets of the fictional Bay City, California in a two-door Ford Gran Torino.
It was also turned into a Todd Phillips-directed movie starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson in 2004.
Neal Moritz’s Original Film, which produced the movie, will also work on the potential new series.
