Sharon Stone and Demi Moore have been targeted by movie bosses to star as 'Cagney and Lacey' in a remake of the hit TV cop show.

Producers reportedly want Demi to play crime-busting housewife Mary Beth Lacey and Sharon to play blonde detective Christine Cagney.

The original '80s TV show told the story of the two female detectives, who struggled to balance their professional and private lives.

However, movie-makers are set to drop the comedy aspect of the original program.

A studio insider said: "It won't be a comedy. It will be more like a 'Thelma and Louise' storyline."

The show is the latest TV hit to be made into a Hollywood film, following 'Starsky and Hutch' and 'Charlie's Angels', the sequel to which Demi starred in.
