You want CHiPS with that?

Exclusive: CHiPS casting

Some info that Latino review received recently from an anonymous New York contact on the casting of the much loved CHiPS adaptation, Who'll play John to Wilmers Ponch? -



Hey Guys,

I was in New York earlier this week, specifically, the New York Marquis. I came across a little celebration that was going on there in the form of Wilmer Valderrama and Chris Evans popping open some bubbly and announcing to the crowd that Chris Evans has signed on to play Jon Baker, Ponch's partner. The guys were pretty fired up about the deal. I also heard it mentioned that filming should start in late November early Decemberish, some time around when Chris wraps Fantastic Four.

So Chris Evans as Jon Baker. Not the one time presenter of TFI Friday and father figure/Boyfriend to Dr Who "Star" Billie Piper, but the chap who's currently shooting Fantastic Four 2...

What do you guys think?
Hmm... I'm starting to think this might become the BoyBand casting of our nightmares to be honest...
Still, CHiPS though! Does make me shuffle in my seat a little. We'll keep our ear to the ground on this one me thinks.
