Police Academy gets a re-Gute

Police Academy is set to receive a sexy new reboot, despite my angry letters to God. After this and the whole Haiti thing, I'm starting to wonder if his Holiness even cares about us any more.

Has there ever been a movie franchise less deserving of a reboot? Despite spawning six inferior sequels - each somehow worse than the last - and a little-seen TV spin-off, Police Academy is still hot property in Hollywood. How else can you explain the decision to fling open the Academy's doors for a teen-orientated reboot? Is this because the movie industry is run by total fucking idiots? I guess we'll never know.

New Line will finance the movie, with original producer Paul Maslansky returning: phew! Expect original star Steve Guttenberg to kick up a Shatner-esque stink if he's not given a token cameo, while The Black Guy Who Does Sound Effects would say only, "Blip-blip-blip, whooosh, wacka-wacka-wacka!" Otherwise, no casting has been announced, but you know Rob Schneider is gunning for this one.

Still, Maslansky is convinced he's masterminded the single greatest creative endeavour since Da Vinci invented sliced bread.
