CNN runs a VARIETY story on the revived KOJAK, set to return on USA Networks. The show will first air as a two-hour film that may lead to a series. Actor Ving Rhames, best known for his role in PULP FICTION, will play the famous lolly-lovin' bullethead. A USA Networks executive VP, Jeff Wachtel, says, "What's interesting about classic titles is they often attract unexpected fans, including people who might not normally think about doing television. Most people have heard of KOJAK -- so it's a great brand that we can reinvent and bring something contemporary and special to, to take it to the next level."
