Police Academy is Coming Back soon




New Line/Warner Bros. is going to relaunch the film "Police Academy", one of the major hits of 80’s. Producer of the "Police Academy" Paul Maslansky is going to come to grips with the new version of the film.



The first part of the "Police Academy" film was published in 1984. Steve Guttenberg played a minor troublemaker Carey Mahoney. As the police lowered the admission requirements of new recruits, the academy was not rushed those people who were supposed to be standing on guard of the law. Mahoney is doing all possible to be kicked out, but a meeting with the charming Karen Thompson (Kim Cattrall) fundamentally changes his attitude to issues of education.


In addition to the main pair, the film has many memorable characters. Hefty Hightower, crazy weapons Taklberri, squeaky Hooks and skillful imitator Jones - all of them were familiar not only in the West, but in the Soviet Union at the dawn of the movies industry .


The film "Police Academy" was one of the most popular films, at one stage with the "Terminator", "Rocky" and "Rambo".
The first part, filmed in just 4.5 million dollars, earned in the American box office over 80 million, so a sequel was followed immediately. "Police comedy: Their First Assignment" has become not a single continuation - until the early 90 Maslansky meticulously produced one film after another. History of police involuntarily ended in 1994. The seventh film was shot in 1993 in Moscow - and this was the first Hollywood picture and the first film crew group which was allowed to shot Russia. Production was carried out during the October coup - so in one of the frames is easily visible charred facade of the White House.



Steve Guttenberg left the "Academy" after the fourth part and until the "Mission to Moscow" from the original composition have lasted only a few units. I the World hire the franchise has collected about 240 million dollars. And now the "Police Academy" is experiencing the new birth - eighth.



Paul Maslansky says: "It will be highly appreciated by those viewers who remember the" Academy "and by those who has repeatedly seen it on TV. We hope to discover new talents and to involve the film with the best comedians. And, of course, we want to leave that wonderful melody, played in the movies. Producer, unfortunately, did not specify whether it’ll be a remake of the classic understanding of the meaning or a new story with new characters.
