"Fall Guy" makes leap to big screen
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - With a big-screen version of TV cop show "Starsky and Hutch" in production at Warner Bros, the studio is now bringing another television property to the big screen, the '80s action-adventure series "The Fall Guy".
The show starred Lee Majors as Colt Seavers, a Hollywood stuntman who moonlights as a bounty hunter. Helping him out was beautiful stuntwoman Jody and Colt's eager but inexperienced younger cousin Howie. A bail bondswoman gave them their assignments, while Colt incorporated the stuntwork he used in his day job into his pursuit of the bail jumpers.
WB is also developing a big-screen version of "The Dukes of Hazzard". A Knight Rider movie is also in the works.
The series' creator, Glen Larson, will serve as an executive producer. He held that role other classics such as: "Battlestar Galactica", "BJ and the Bear", "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century", "Magnum, P.I." and "Knight Rider," which he and David Hasselhoff are working on to bring to the big screen.
Tristan Patterson is attached to write the script in a deal potentially worth in the low seven figures. He most recently wrote "The Regulators" for Disney, based on his own pitch.
