Meanwhile, “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka” gets the TV treatment--sort of. “Hammer and Slammer” will feature characters introduced in last year’s feature-film send-up of ‘70s blaxploitation pics, produced, written and starring Keenan Ivory Wayans.

Wayans won’t star this time out, but is exec producing and scripting the hour pilot for MGM-TV and ABC. It reunites Isaac Hayes (Hammer), Jim Brown (Slammer), Steve James (Kung Fu Joe) and Ja’net Dubois (in a new role, Joanne). Bernie Casey as John Slade and Eriq LaSalle as Jack Spade also join the cast.

Premise: To right a wrong, veteran crime fighter Slade gets together his formidable buddies, including Spade--son of his old police partner.
