Project, based on the series that ran from 1987-1990 on Fox, was first set up at Paramount in 2002 with Stephen J. Cannell and Douglas Rosen producing. At that point, series co-creators Cannell and Patrick Hasburgh were scripting an updated take on undercover police officers at a tough school.
Moritz produced "2 Fast 2 Furious," "S.W.A.T." and "Out of Time" last year through Sony-based Original. He's developing a third installment of "The Fast and the Furious," and "Spy Hunter" for Universal.
