For fans of the 70s/80s TV smash hit, the arrival of the big screen teaser for the CHiPs movie is a welcome bit of news. As a fan of the show and an appreciator of all those associated with this leap to the big screen, believe it or not, this is one of our most anticipated movies of 2017.
Michael Pena could not have been more perfectly cast as Frank “Ponch” Poncherello and Dax Shepard nails the look and feel of Jon Baker. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) members are a team for the ages, out solving crime and making the streets and highways of Los Angeles a safer place. But in the film version, it appears that one of those two is actually an undercover FBI agent trying to bust some corruption in the CHP.
Sounds like an interesting premise.
CHiPs also stars Rosa Salazar, Adam Brody, Kristen Bell (Shepard’s real-life wife) and Vincent D’Onofrio. Shepard also tackles the role as director.
Look for the latest TV to big screen effort to hit screens March 24.
