Police Academy Remake

[Daemonos]

Έβλεπα μια συνέντευξη του Mickael Winslow και ανέφερε οτι ετοιμάζουν remake του police academy, το έψαξα και όντος ισχύει... άντε να δούμε!!

 

 

 

 

Τhe Police Academy remake has just been given new life thanks to Key and Peele. Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, best known for their Comedy Central sketch comedy show Key and Peele, have just been attached to produce a remake of the goofball Eighties franchise about misfits training to become police officers.

The Hollywood Reporter first expanded on the Police Academy remake news, but theTracking Board reported it first.

Director Scott Zabielski was long been attached to the remake, which is set up at New Line, but is no longer. There’s also no word if they’re using the latest draft of the script by writer Jeremy Garelick. Original producer Paul Maslansky is still, however, part of the film.

As producers, Key and Peele don’t necessarily have to star in the film but you’d have to imagine they’ll want to. Their smart, over the top comedy seems like a good way to freshen up the Police Academy idea.

Their Key and Peele show premiered on Comedy Central in 2012 and recently completed its third season. A fourth season is planned later this year. Out of all their skits, which regularly get viral video attention, the ones featuring hotel valet attendants talking about action movies, specifically those of Liam Neeson, are probably the most popular. It’s so popular, in fact, they were recruited to help Neeson promoteNon-Stop.

The Police Academy franchise spans seven films over the course of a decade, beginning with 1984′s smash hit and petering out with 1994′s Police Academy 7: Mission to Moscow. Many well-known actors appeared in the franchise and lots of not-so-well-known actors became household names because of it. If Key and Peele can really come up with a way to reinvigorate the franchise for the 21st century, it’s definitely something I’m interested in checking out.

 

 

 

 

Pictured Above

   1  David Graf

Age: Deceased
Played: The lovable gun nut, Eugene Tackleberry
No. of Police Academy films: Graf went one better than George Gaynes, by notching all seven films AND the TV show.
Where Are They Now: Sadly, though, he died of a sudden heart attack in 2001, aged just 50. Tack, you were taken too soon.  

  2  Michael Winslow

Age: 50
Played: Larvelle Jones. Or, as you might know him, the guy who makes all those amazing noises that sound EXACTLY like gunfire, videogames and dry leaves. No, really  they sound EXACTLY like that.
No. of Police Academy films: He may well be Mr. Police Academy, with a 100% attendance record. That includes 27 episodes of the TV show. 27! Were not sure if anyone out there has even watched 27 episodes of the TV show, but Winslow made em!
Where Are They Now: Still pretty busy in a variety of films, TV shows and commercials, where he you know does the voice thing. It's STILL uncanny. 

  3  Andrew Rubin

Age: 62
Played: The lothario, George Martin, who disguises himself as a woman so he can get into the ladies dorm and have his wicked way with them. Oh, and he lies about being Italian.
No. of Police Academy films: One only.
Where Are They Now: In fact, that was Rubins last movie  wed guess that he was shunted aside for the sequel because he shared too many characteristics with Mahoney. However, given that his last TV appearance was in 1998, its also probable that Rubin just quit screen acting. Certainly, our detailed search of Google threw up no answers, and we even went to the third page. NOBODY goes to the third page.

    4  Leslie Easterbrook

Age: 59
Played: Buxom instructor Sgt. Callahan, who mesmerised recruits with, ow you zay, the size of her bosoms.
No. of Police Academy films: She missed out on Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment, before somebody realised that massive boobs catered directly to the Police Academy demographic. She even turned up in the TV show, now a D.A.
Where Are They Now: Shes been busy MILFing it in movies like The Heartbreak Kid, and has become part of Rob Zombies fold, turning up in The Devils Rejects and Halloween.

   5  Bruce Mahler

Age: 58
Played: The nervy, bespectacled, accident-prone Douglas Fackler.
No. of Police Academy films: Four. Curiously, he was in the first three, then didnt show up again until City Under Siege (the sixth film). And then he didnt pack his bags for the Mission To Moscow.
Where Are They Now: If youre ever on a film set and you see a guy on the crew who looks a lot like that guy from the Police Academy films... don't think youre going nuts. It could well be him: Mahler�s last credited film work was as Assistant Production Manager on Freddy vs. Jason...

   6  Marion Ramsey

Age: 61
Played: The lovable, mousy Cadet Hooks, whose timid whisper of a voice would always  always give way to an ASSERTIVE YELL by the movie's end. 
No. of Police Academy films: The first six.
Where Are They Now: She hasnt done a lot since the Police Academy series (to be frank, the first six films were her first six films, period). Shell next be seen, along with Bubba Smith, in DaZe: Vol Too. But the thing we REALLY want to see is her appearance in John Virgo: Playing For Laughs, a trick shot-centric video from 1993. If anyone out there has it, please, PLEASE, send it in.

    7  Bubba Smith

Age: 63
Played: Walking colossus, Moses Hightower
No. of Police Academy films: The 6'7" former American football player did that thing where bad guys run into him, then he stands up to reveal his full height while they shit their pants in just six Academy films. He drew the line at Mission To Moscow, although he did turn up in the TV show for one episode.
Where Are They Now: He has two films in the can, including the curiously-titled DaZe: Vol. Too, in which he plays... Bubba.

   8  G.W. Bailey

Age: 64
Played: Hard-nosed pedant, Lt. Harris
No. of Police Academy films: 6  Bailey bailed for Police Academy 3, before coming back for the last batch.
Where Are They Now: Movie-wise, his voice turn as Rusty, the dog in Home On The Range has been the highlight. But since 2005, hes been picking up a regular paycheque on the Kyra Sedgwick cop show, The Closer, as another Lieutenant. But his Provenza is much, much nicer than Harris. Mind you, thats not difficult. 

  9  Donovan Scott

Age: 62
Played: Fat cadet, Leslie Barbara, victim of some of the film's worst bullying
No. of Police Academy films: Just the one.
Where Are They Now: His most recent film was the Lindsay Lohan disaster, I Know Who Killed Me (where he played a sheriff, so he got promoted at last), but hes cropped up on the likes of My Name Is Earl, Bones and Boston Legal of late.

   10  Steve Guttenberg

Age: 50
Played: Carey Mahoney, the charming and cocky leader of the gang
No. of Police Academy films: Four  he left after Citizens On Patrol, to pursue a career of megastardom elsewhere. Take a wild guess what happened next.
Where Are They Now: He seems to be the principal mover and shaker behind Police Academy 8, after a couple of decades scratching around in bad movies. An attempt at reinvention as a DTV action hero didnt work, mainly because hes a bit rubbish.

   11  Kim Cattrall

Age: 52
Played: Flirty cadet, Karen Thompson
No. of Police Academy films: Just the one. She got out when the going was good.
Where Are They Now: The most famous graduate from the Academy, Cattrall wound up in Big Trouble In Little China, was the eponymous heroine in Mannequin (again, bailing for the sequel) and, of course, played the man-eating Samantha in Sex And The City. Was last seen getting her norks out in public to promote a painting. BACK

   12  George Gaynes

Age: 91
Played: Unforgettably, the bumbling, kindly Commandant Eric Lassard, the franchises finest character. Altogether now: "In slide... TWOOOO!"
No. of Police Academy films: Ladies and gentlemen, we have our first 100% record.
Where Are They Now: Presumably enjoying a well-earned retirement. He hasnt made a film since 2003, and we wish him good health. Sadly, considering his age, its unlikely hell return for Part 8.

     Lance Kinsey
Age: 49
Played: Proctor, the incompetent yet well-meaning assistant to whoever happened to be the bureaucratic villain of the piece, be it Mauser in parts 2 & 3, and Harris thereafter.
No. of Police Academy films: 2 - 6.
Where Are They Now: Not good. He showed up in lame comedies National Lampoons Loaded Weapon 1 and Silence Of The Hams, did some writing on forgettable TV shows and was last seen in 2008s BuzzKill. Which pretty much describes his career post-Police Academy.

  Bobcat Goldthwait
Age: 46
Played: The screeching maniac Zed, a villain in Police Academy 2 who, like Jaws in Moonraker, converted to the side of the angels for the next instalment.
No. of Police Academy films: 2, 3 and 4.
Where Are They Now: An edgy comedian and performance artist, Goldthwait  who actually does talk like that, if a slightly more refined version  is now best known as a director of pitch-black comedies like Sleeping Dogs Lie (where a woman enjoys, erm, sexual congress with a dog), the upcoming Worlds Greatest Dad (where Robin Williams plays a dad who tries to cover up his sons suicide) and the greatest alcoholic clown movie in the history of alcoholic clown movies, Shakes The Clown. Oh, and hes now Bob Goldthwait. Its more respectable. Colleen Camp
Age: 55
Played: The tomboyish Kathleen Kirkland, who became Kathleen Kirkland-Tackleberry by part four.
No. of Police Academy films: 2, and 4.
Where Are They Now: A respected actress, youll have seen Camp in the likes of Die Hard With A Vengeance, and the forthcoming Four Christmases. Shes also reinvented herself as a producer on Philip Noyces thriller, Above Suspicion, which is just about to start shooting.

   Sharon Stone
Age: 50
Played: Claire Mattson, the love interest in Police Academy 4: Citizens On Patrol.
No. of Police Academy films: She made COP in 1987. Three years later came Total Recall. Two years after that, Basic Instinct made her the biggest female star on the planet. How many Police Academy films do you think she made?
Where Are They Now: Easily the most famous actor to have been associated with the series (sorry, Gerrit Graham), Stones career may not be the rocket ship to the stars it once was, but theres still no earthly reason to suspect that shell show up in Part 8, no matter what Steve Guttenberg might think. Mind you, she did do Basic Instinct 2, so all bets may well be off...

Δεν ξέρω του πότε είναι η λίστα (και damn, δεν είχα τσεκάρει καθόλου ότι ο David Graf είχε πεθάνει), αλλά και ο Bubba Smith από το 2011 πάει.

 

(και ο George Gaynes είναι 97!! Οπότε οκ, η λίστα είναι ~6 χρόνια πριν)

Site: Bubba Smith died of drug intoxication November 2, 2011

 

Τόσες post apocalyptic and zombies TV series κάνουν, ας φτιάξουν και μια χαλαρή κωμωδία

[Rabican]

Και ο τακλμπερυ εχει πεθανει..

[Daemonos]

Και εγώ έμεινα λίγο όταν το είδα οτι πέθανε, κρίμα ρε, ήταν απο τους καλούς ηθοποιούς στην ταινία.

 

Ο Winslow Ακόμα κάνει μιμήσεις! τον έβλεπα youtube, εκεί είδα οτι ετοιμάζουν και το remake

[mathsrule]

Ας το επιχειρήσουν, αν και πολύ φοβάμαι ότι θα είναι μια τραγική αποτυχία (ειδικά εάν κρατήσουν το παλιό σενάριο με τους παλιούς χαρακτήρες, απλά με νέους ηθοποιούς).

 

Απλά να μην τολμήσουν να αλλάξουν το main theme!

 

[Cossutius.]

Σκοπός ειναι να κρατήσουν τους παλιούς χαρακτήρες με τους ίδιους ηθοποιούς (όσοι υπάρχουν) και να προσθέσουν νεώτερους.

Οκ δε θα ειναι ταινία που θα σπάσει ταμεία αλλά θα ειναι ευχάριστη για τη τηλεόραση.

[Chrisxxx]

Ας μην το τολμησουν, το αποτελεσμα δυσκολο να ειναι καλύτερο από το remake του ροδα τσαντα και κοπανα που εκαναν πριν λιγα χρονια και καταφερα να δω σε rewind χωρις να ξερασω. Ασε που χωρις Χαιταουερ, Τακ και Λασαρντ δεν πας πουθενα.

Καλά το ροδα τσάντα και κοπάνα ηταν αποτυχία για άλλους λογους ρε συ. Μιλάμε για μηδενικό μπάτζετ, κάκιστο σενάριο, συνεχής αναπολήσεις στο παρελθόν κτλ κτλ. Έκλαιγα απ τα γέλια με τη κακομοιριά της ταινίας.

Αλλά εδω μπορούν να το φτιάξουν ωραία αν φέρουν τα ονόματα που υπάρχουν ακόμα και φτιάξουν ένα καλό σενάριο.

Μπορει Λασάρντ να μην υπάρχει αλλά υπάρχει ο τυπος που έκανε τον κακο υπαστυνόμο. Μπορει στη θέση του Χάιτάουερ να φέρουν έναν νέο που να το παίξει ρε παιδί μου γιός του. Και καλά νέος.

Να φέρουν τη Σάρον Στόουν να το παίζει αστυνομικός με τον Μαχονι ζευγάρι.

Υπάρχουν ωραία τρικ για να συνδιάσεις το παλιό με το νέο και να έχει επιτυχία

[mathsrule]

τον κακο υπαστυνόμο.

Τον Χάρρις; Υπέροχος ηθοποιός/χαρακτήρας!
