To protect and serve...laughs?

This just in:

There's a new Police Academy movie in the works. Interestingly, its title on IMDb is not followed by a Roman numeral. It makes me wonder if Warner Brothers is going to try to "re-invent" the franchise, like it did with Batman Begins. Looking closer, though, it seems that some of the old charter members are signed on: Steve Guttenberg, Bubba Smith, Michael Winslow (the sound effects guy), etc. So maybe it isn't a re-invention.

Despite my strongest influence of common sense, I'm going to predict that this new Police Academy, which looks to be released in 2006, will be awesome.
