The original followed two officers, Officer Jon Baker (Larry Wilcox) and Frank 'Ponch' Poncherello (Erik Estrada), who patrolled the highways of California on motorcycles
Shepard is set to play Baker while Michael Pena is attached to play Ponch.
Andrew Panay is producing the film.
Warner Bros. tried to adapt the property into a comedy film a few years ago with That '70s Show star Wilmer Valderrama set to take on the role of Ponch but the project stalled. This version is said to boast a more serious tone along "Bad Boys" or "Lethal Weapon"
Shepard is expected to perform his own riding and stunts since he's a professional driver race car and motorcycle rider.
