Hollywood producer Scott Rudin is bringing back hit 1970s sitcom Good Times for the big screen.

The family show featured John Amos and Esther Rolle as working class parents trying to bring up their three children in a poor Chicago, Illinois neighborhood.

The series, which co-starred Jimmie Walker and a young Janet Jackson, went off air in 1979, but now Columbia Pictures bosses are enthusiastic to revive the program as a movie, and they have hired Wreck-It Ralph screenwriter Phil Johnston to pen the script, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
