Ben Stiller's got a partner for Starsky & Hutch.

By Power-trip November 27, 2001 11:44 AM

According to BBC Radio One, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are on to play the leads in the new Starsky & Hutch film currently in development. ?Vince Vaughn, who had been slotted as a lead, has since dropped out of the project.

Additionally, it has been reported that Snoop Dogg is up for the role of Huggy Bear in the movie version of the hit 70's tv show that once featured David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser as the title characters.

No word yet if the signature red and white Ford Gran Torino from the TV series will make an appearance in the movie.

Extra thanks to Dark Horizons for the lead.

How could they!?!  How could they make a movie version of Starsky & Hutch, before the Duke boys get their fair shake at the the big screen?  This is unfair, this will not stand!

Well then, how about "I love Lucy", with Julia Roberts and Antonio Banderas?

OK . . . back on topic. The series we really need to be afraid of is, "Little House on the Prarie." That, or,"Mary Tyler Moore."
Having said that, since they might do S n' H, I see ADAM 12 or Baretta not far behind.

Why? Just because this site is .com? If you are from the land of freedom (as in tolerance) I could be able to speak in the language I want.
Besides, "por favor" doesn't show your spanish knowledge.

Look buddy, you want to talk on this site then you're gonna have to do it in English. Sorry, but that's just the way it goes. You sound like you need the practise anyway.

Of course I need the practice, I'm not english. How about you teach me in exchange of spanish lessons?

By the way, if were enough people on this site who had spanish as his/her native tongue, we could talk in that language. It has happened on other .com sites.

As far as I know, you're the only guy on here that has a problem with what language you type in. Just type in English cos it's only gonna help you in the long run, after all English is the most widely spoken language in the world so it can only be a benefit to you.
