Today I bring you some serious sequels. We are talking about some of the most iconic films of the 80′s. Not saying they were great but when you look back now these kind of movies summarize the whole 80′s feeling.

The Sun tells us that Kim Catrall and Sharon Stone are set to star alongside each other in a brand new Police Academy movie. Yeah, I know. That was my first reaction too… The pair shot to international stardom in the slapstick series of movies and co-star Steve Guttenberg is bringing the comedy cops back.

“We are doing a new movie and it is going to be great fun,” he said. “A script is being written and so far it is really great, everyone from the original movies who is still around will return. I know Kim and Sharon have been asked but they haven’t said yes yet. It would be really great to have them on board.”

Steve quit the series after the fourth film however, that’s a decision he says he now regrets. The 50-year-old explained: “I loved doing the Police Academy films. They gave me so much opportunity, and I’ve got nothing but good memories of that time.”

“I turned down “Short Circuit 2” too and I now wish I hadn’t. Sequels are a lot of fun and you get to hang out with all your friends. I wish I hadn’t turned those down.”

However, the Police Academy movie is not the only franchise Steve is planning to return to. He explained: “Tom Selleck, Ted Danson and I are looking to make another ‘Three Men And A Baby‘ movie. It’s called ‘Three Men and A Bride’. The script is pretty much written and we are really keen to get that made. We’re very hopeful.”

From a personal standpoint I’d say focus on the “Three Men” project and let the Academy movies rest in peace. Sure, they were fun when you were eight years old but… I think comedy has evolved since then. Just my opinion.
