New Police Academy movie
http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/1291...hightower.html
Michael Winslow: the new Police Academy film, Shaquille O'Neal as Hightower? Nicholas Higton and Simon Brew A new director, a November shoot, and Shaquille O'Neal as Hightower? Michael Winslow has just given a big update on the plans for the new Police Academy... Published on Mar 21, 2012 We’re indebted to Den Of Geek reader Nicholas Higton for this one. Michael Winslow, the one-man noise machine from the Police Academy movies, is currently in the UK promoting his one man tour. And he appeared on TalkSport radio, specifically the Hawksbee and Jacobs show, yesterday afternoon. While on the show, he was asked what the current status of the long-mooted new Police Academy movie was. Turns out, he had quite an update. Asked whether the plan was to get the old team back together, Winslow admitted he’d spoken to Steve Guttenberg about this, and that the plans was “to try and get as many people as possible” back for the new film. Then, Winslow noted that two major members of the cast had passed on since the last film, namely David Graf (Tackleberry) and Bubba Smith (Hightower). However, he revealed that “we’ve asked Shaquille O’Neal to take over as Hightower”. He added that “Production was supposed to start in April, but with the new director that they’ve just hired, it’ll probably be November. But we will be having it out for 2013.” We’ve no idea who the new director is, nor if Shaquille O’Neal has accepted the Hightower role. But we’ll keep you posted. |

Let's hope it also has Steve Guttenberg!

That's like having Rampage Jackson play BA Baracus in the A team just didn't play the part right. Just wrong.

Police Academy without David Graf and Bubba Smith.....you just cant.
Make your own cop comedy movie if you want, but dont call it Police Academy. Tackleberry was one of my absolute favorites in those movies. Really sucked to hear he'd gone. And trying to replace Bubba Smith with Shaq?! Someone needs their ass kicked for even thinking about it.

I really hope that they show Police Academy's darker roots.

I'll be damned if Winslow isn't the best fricken beat boxer EVER! This is amazing!! He seriously needs to do a cover album where he plays all the instruments, lays them down in several tracks and then call it "One Man Band". I'd buy it.

One of the local sports radio stations did an interview with Winslow one day. He is a very strange dude in real life.

If they wanna keep squeezing the nuts dry of 80s successes, why not make a sequel to Gremlins. Not a remake, not a "reboot", just a sequel. Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates are still alive. I think the uncle is still alive for a cameo too. It's one of the few things remaining that they haven't touched yet. Also, it's gotta be animatronic puppets, not CGI. Or very little CGI. The little sausage looking puppets gave the movies all it's charm.
We really don't need a Police Academy reboot, or a Police Academy 27. |
