Warner Bros. has unveiled the trailter for the action comedy CHIPS [CHIPS] on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Based on the 1980s TV series, CHIPS stars Dax Shepard [DSHEP] and Michael Pena [MPENA] take over the roles made famous by Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada.
Jon Baker (Shepard) and Frank “Ponch” Poncherello (Peña) have just joined the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in Los Angeles but for very different reasons. Baker is a beaten up pro motorbiker trying to put his life and marriage back together. Poncherello is a cocky undercover Federal agent investigating a multi-million dollar heist that may be an inside job—inside the CHP. The inexperienced rookie and hardened pro are teamed together, but clash more than click, so kickstarting a partnership is easier said than done. But with Baker’s bike skills combined with Ponch’s street savvy it might just work…if they don’t drive each other crazy along the way.
Adapted and directed by Shepard, CHIPS rides into theaters March 24th.
