I must have missed the public outcry for new installments of this series…
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – “Police Academy” is back. After a decade’s absence from the big screen, the cop comedy franchise is gearing up for an eighth installment.
“I felt it was time to start again,” said series creator Paul Maslansky. “I saw that ‘Starsky & Hutch’ and a number of other revivals were doing really well. ‘Police Academy’ has such a great history. I thought, ‘Why not?”‘
According to Maslansky, who will serve as an executive producer, the talent from the first seven features has expressed a keen interest in the revival, with Maslansky looking to combine both new and the “original talent” for the next “Police Academy.”Of course the “original talent” is interested, it’s not like any of these folks (aside from Kim Catrall) are working in Hollywood anymore…
It’s worse than that.
David Graf is dead.
Of course these guys are “keen” on a reunion – none of them have worked in the last 20 years. I wonder if the guy that makes all the sounds still has his chops. I can’t imagine Bobcat Goldthwait would be willing to embarrass himself again – he has a hot wife (that redhead from “Las Vegas”). I’m sure she likes that grating voice he does in the bedroom, but how is she going to feel when he breaks it out on a national forum again?
The Stonecutters must have had something to do with this.
Do not mock the Guttenberg!
