police academy 8

Am I really alone in seeing something dramatically wrong with that statement?

I stand by my Spaceballs disdain. Anyway, the subject at hand:

Plans were in motion for an eighth Police Academy film to be released in 2007 after a decade of absence. Says series creator Paul Maslansky: "I felt it was time to start again. I saw that Starsky & Hutch and a number of other revivals were doing really well. Police Academy has such a great history, so I thought, 'Why not?'" Most of the main cast members were due to return, except David Graf (Eugene Tackleberry) and Billie Bird (Lois Feldman), both of whom had died, and Tab Thacker, who had lost his legs to diabetes and died as well. Hugh Wilson was slated to direct.

Leslie Easterbrook and Marion Ramsey mentioned that filming for the next Police Academy film was due to start shooting in summer 2006 for a release in 2007. The film was shelved in October 2006. Leslie Easterbrook did mention that there was still hope for a direct to DVD sequel. She added that while Warner Bros. wanted to do one, they wanted a producer to get independent financing. In May 2008 Michael Winslow replied to a question about a possible new Police Academy film: “Anything’s possible. You’ve got to hope for Paul Maslansky and those folks over there to put it together. It’s up to them. It would be great to see everyone again."

In a radio interview on November 26, 2008 with Colin Paterson for BBC Five Live's Simon Mayo show, Steve Guttenberg confirmed that 8 was still in development and that he was working on the script with Warner Bros.. Guttenberg is slated to direct the film,[11] and stated that all of the cast from the previous installments (except for the deceased David Graf, Billie Bird, and Tab Thacker) would return to reprise their roles.

haha good god, why do they have to rub it in with the diabetes, like "tab thacker is dead, but even if he weren't he STILL couldn't be in it, because people without legs aren't allowed to be in movies"

"also he had a bunch of parking tickets"

lol nabisco I was about to make almost that exact same post

"while he was in the hospital having his legs removed, his wife slept with another man"
