"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.

I wonder who's gonna play Lee Majors character in the movie. There's gonna be a Knight Rider movie? I heard there's gonna be a A Team movie. Is that true Pavanbadal?

I have been hearing about a film version of The A-Team off and on for the past year or so. It is a horrible idea, in my mind, because the only reason the series worked was because of the four actors. No other actors could bring to the screen (big or small) the same dynamics that Mr. T, George Peppard, Dirk Benedict and Dwight Schultz.

As for The Fall Guy becoming a movie I think it could work better than an A-Team movie because, really, the show was just about a guy who fought a lot and did stuntwork.
