Welcome to another version of Hollywood crap.  It would seem Hollywood has seen fit to make another Police Academy movie, but this time it is going to be a remake of the original.

The first film, released in 1984, starred Steve Guttenberg as Mahoney, a repeat offender who is forced to enter the academy and emerges as the group’s leader. Other notable characters included Moses Hightower (Bubba Smith), gun-crazy Tackleberry (David Graf), mousy Hooks (Marion Ramsey) and sound effects-spewing Larvell Jones (Michael Winslow).

Bobcat Goldthwait joined the cast for the second movie in 1985. The series, which included Kim Cattrall and Sharon Stone as romantic leads, ended with the 1994′s “Mission to Moscow.” All told, the franchise took in about $240 million worldwide and inspired a pair of TV series.

  So, let me understand this. Hollywood, in its mad rush to produce crappy 80s movies, thought making a lowbrow comedy is the best thing they can come up with? I guess having seven sequels that made $240 million worldwide is what it takes for you to get a remake nowadays. 

The worst rumor about this movie is that Dane Cook is rumored to play the role of Mahoney.  Really, I know I haven’t seen him in anything good recently, but is this how far his career has fallen.  For the love of Mary, Dax Shepard even got a TV show.  How is that Dane Cook gets attached to this fiasco?

 I think I’m no longer going to write for this movie site.  I’m going to see if I can get a job in Hollywood.  Heck, I can come up with a stupid idea as good as the next guy.  If all it takes is for me to act like I have no common sense and pick movies to remake then that is the job for me.
