The network is developing a reboot of Training Day — the movie that earned an Oscar win for Denzel Washington, and a nomination for Ethan Hawke — to be executive-produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Jonathan Littman (CSI), Antoine Fuqua and Castle scribe Will Beall, the network announced Monday.

The logline for the pilot — which, like the movie, will be directed by Fuqua — is as follows: In this reimagining that begins 15 years after the film left off, an idealistic young African-American police officer is appointed to an elite squad of the LAPD where he is partnered with a seasoned, morally ambiguous Caucasian detective.

Would you tune in for a new take on Training Day — or have you been cured of reboot fever? Sound off below!

Hell yeah..HBO had the game on lock with dope ass shows and the extra icing on the cake was you could curse and show nudity.

Network TV is fucking dying man...why would anyone watch that shit anyway?

That is what is wrong with the old infrastructure companies(TV and Music business) they were so out of tune about shit forever and never adapted when they easily could have. The old crackers that ran these companies didn't do shit but throw money at shit and hope it stuck...they are going to feel the burn in the next couple of years....Pay close attention to old money cacs committing suicide...you know how if the make 3 billion one year as opposed to 8 they want to die.

Bill Paxton to Star in CBS' 'Training Day' Sequel

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/bill-paxton-star-cbs-training-869953

CBS' Training Day sequel has found its leading man.

Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominee Bill Paxton has been tapped to topline the network's drama pilot based on the 2001 feature film of the same name, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Described as a reimagining that begins 15 years after the 2001 film left off, the reboot centers on an idealistic young African-American police officer who is appointed to an elite squad of the LAPD where he is partnered with a seasoned, morally ambiguous detective.

Paxton will make his broadcast series regular debut and star as Frank Rourke, a veteran LAPD cop who heads up the Special Investigation Section (SIS), a unit that goes after the worst of the worst. He lives by the law of the jungle and believes that real courage is the will to chase the bad guys where the law won’t. Needless to say, Frank isn’t too keen to be babysitting a new trainee, Kyle Craig (uncast). Denzel Washington earned an Oscar win for his leading role as seasoned detective Alonzo Harris in the 2001 feature. Ethan Hawke co-starred as the young cop.

For Paxton, the role marks his return to series regular television following HBO's Big Love, for which he earned multiple Golden Globe noms. After that, he starred in a pair of History miniseries, Hatfields & McCoys andTexas Rising. More recently, he has recurred on ABC's Marvel drama Agents of SHIELD. On the film side, his credits include Edge of Tomorrow, Nightcrawler, Million Dollar Arm, Titanic and Apollo 13. He's repped by UTA and Bloom Hergott.

Former LAPD detective Will Beall (Castle, Gangster Squad) will pen the script and exec produce alongside Antoine Fuqua, who directed the feature film. Jerry Bruckheimer and his Warner Bros. Television-based banner will exec produce alongside the company's Jonathan Littman and KristieAnne Reed. Fuqua's Fuqua Films is also attached. Warner Bros. Pictures produced the original feature alongside Village Roadshow Pictures. Danny Cannon will also exec produce and direct the pilot.
