So, there are two big rumors, circulating, that seem to have more than a little fact behind them.
The first is for all the Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans out there, with the huge success of Twilight, Joss Whedon (the creator of Buffy, and my favorite, Firefly) is set to present an already finished script this week for a Buffy movie. With so much attention to Vampires in TV and movies lately, there seems to be a lot of talk, saying this will be given the green light to start pre-production as early as next year. Actress Sarah Michelle Geller Prinze Jr. (are we not forgetting a name?) has already said she would be up for a movie if it ever gets made.
The other bit of info has been circulating for awhile, but now, seems to have a script and contracts in place for a Police Academy 8. That's right, moviegoers, I said EIGHT. The beloved series that gave Steve Guttenberg is start to international fame, and now, no fame at all is coming back, with Guttenberg starring as the iconic, comedic Mahoney. According to Guttenberg, they are ready to start pre-production and everyone has signed on to return in their roles, with the exception of David Graf, who played Tackelberry. Unfortunately, he kicked the bucket, so he will not be returning for the rest of his life.
I don't know about you, but I'm actually kinda excited about both bits of news. I think the Buffy series was well written and directed at times, and has been, and could still be a great cultural influence on all ages, and could really turn into a franchise very quickly, and it's good to see success being rewarded. As far as Police Academy, I actually loved the first two, after that, it got really, really bad. I hope it can get back to the form it was in the 80's and deliver some great comedy.
So, that's the news so far, now go out there and try not to keel over from too much turkey!
