Vin Diesel Is ‘Kojak’, ‘Skyfall’ Writers to Script!

Kojak is headed the silver screen!

After a popular 1970’s television series, a failed 2005 reimagining, and plenty of TV movies in between, the iconic police officer is again coming back to life thanks to Universal. The already bald Vin Diesel will portray Lt. Theo Kojak, who was originally played by Telly Savalas, and later by Ving Rhames.

The film will be scripted by Skyfall scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who also wrote the previous four Bond films. They also wrote Skyfall’s third act… so there’s that too.

I’ve never seen Kojak, but I could imagine that fans would be pretty excited about this! What do you think? Does Diesel look the part?
