House creator David Shore is planning to remake the hit ’70s TV show ‘The Rockford Files’.

The original series centred around James Garner who played ex-convict private investigator Jim Rockford.

Shore told Variety: “It’s one of the shows that made me want to become a writer. I had no interest in adapting any old stuff, but this was the one exception.”

Shore added that though he will want to modernise the show, he does intend to stay true to the original premise.

“What makes Rockford timeless is that he’s vulnerable, he’s flawed. He’s used to hustling and getting hustled. Sometimes he’s a hero and sometimes he runs away,” he said.
