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?
