It’s been a couple of years since we've heard any solid reports on the
Police Academy reboot that has been threatening to crawl out of
development and worry our cinemas. It’s mostly still sitting in the script
swamps, but now The Break-Up’s Jeremy Garelick has been hired
to take another crack at it.
Though talk had previously been about original series star Steve Guttenberg
and some of the old crew reuniting for yet another movie, the current plan is to
go back to the drawing board on the first movie’s concept, which saw the titular
training facility throwing its doors open to all and the resulting crop of
bumbling recruits saving the day. That 1984 original went on to spawn six
sequels and a couple of TV shows, so New Line is naturally eager to tap that
vein again. David Diamond and David Weissman had written the most recent version
of the script.
Garelick will be working with telly director Scott Zabieski, who is attached
to make his film debut with the project. The writer has also been working on
Sick Day for Universal, which he may end up directing, plus a
few other projects bubbling away, including The Insane Laws and
The Golden Tux.
