It seems that not a day goes by without someone, somewhere dragging up a classic film or franchise and trying to reinvigorate it for a modern audience.

Now it’s the turn of Police Academy. Children of the 80s probably laughed at the bumbling antics of the inept law enforcers who somehow always managed to come out on top.

And some of us may even have some sneaky Police Academy T-shirts hidden away somewhere but is it a good idea to try and breathe new life into the franchise?

Well New Line clearly thinks so and the Hollywood Reporter revealed that original producer Paul Maslansky is back on board for the latest set of movies.

But there’s no writer or director associated with the project yet and no word whether it’ll be a one-off or a series of films destined to be re-shown every Christmas.

Maslansky told the showbiz website that he thinks the project will be “very worthwhile” and added: “We hope to discover new talent and season it with great comedians.”

He also said that it’ll feature a new class but you’ve got to wonder whether Commandant Lassard or Sergeant Mahoney will be making a cameo appearance in there somewhere.
