Over at Moviehole they have some news on Police Academy 8, thank god, I’ve been waiting on tenderhooks!
Paul Maslansky, producer of the never-ending silly series, tells Entertainment Weekly that it’s still very much-a-go, he just wants to get it right before having a bunch of middle-aged men squeeze into their black chords again.
“It’s going to be a great challenge”, he says. “When you make seven comedies and they’re constantly on TV and DVD people go ‘aww f&%k another one!'”.
According to Maslansky, the plan is to bring back some of the original cast – including Steve Guttenberg, Bubba Smith, Michael Winslow and Leslie Easterbook – for the next film, and have them pass the pepper spray to a new bunch of young troops.
Maslanksy then envisions the new cast members headlining “Police Academy 9”, and the sequels that would follow it.
Oh dear god, let it end. I think I lost interest after the second or third, and let’s not even talk about the one in Russia. Is there anyone who would be looking forward to this?
Id see it man, yea they got kind of silly towards 5 an stuff but come on, what’ll hurt.
PA – rules forever!!!
Gutte could be head of the Academy now and the new misfit comes in say Kutcher. Guttenberg meet Kutcher. Classic.
Guttneburg has been missing in action for a long time, I remember seeing him in It Takes 2 or whatever, but nothing more. Police Academy rocks!
The world has been at a horrible lost of the Gutte. If Guttenberg comes back we will have peace again. All Hail The Gutte.
Oh come on man, you have to love PA. My friends and I like theem so much, when something is cool or even better, Uber cool, we say Mahoney! (because how cool is Mahoney?)
hm, i liked the first four movies :) When Guttenberg left, movies went downhill, but with him back… It might work out. As long it’s not similar to No. 7 and more like 1-4, I’ll watch it.
