Police Academy

A few years ago Steve Guttenberg was touting a new Police Academy film, which would reunite most of the surviving cast.  Whilst most people put these comments down to desperate pitching from a man reduced to pantomines and infomercials, it looks like Guttenberg may have been at least partly correct.

New Line Cinema and Warner Brothers have announced that they are in fact working on a revival of the franchise.  Unfortunately for Guttenberg and co. it appears that the film will centre on a selection of new recruits and there will be no room for the original stars.

Whilst not surprising, it's a shame the studio could not find some place for the original cast, perhaps as teachers at a new academy, a move which surely would draw in some of the fans of the original series.
