Wilmer Valderrama will star as motorcycle cop Ponch in Warner Bros. Pictures' big-screen version of cult late 70's classic series "CHiPs" says The Hollywood Reporter.

Valderrama is best known as Fez on "That '70s Show". The studio has just acquired the rights for the TV series and has set Paul Kaplan and Mark Torgove to adapt.

Erik Estrada famously originated the Ponch role in "CHiPs," which ran on NBC in the late 1970s and followed the adventures of California Highway Patrol motorcycle officers Francis "Ponch" Poncherello and Jon Baker (Larry Wilcox).
