A remake of Kindergarten Cop, that may lead to a TV series. This time: the hunt is on for, er, a flash drive...
NewsAnd we thought the week had been light on remake stories. Apparently not.
The latest? The Arnold Schwarzenegger comedy vehicle, Kindergarten Cop, is getting a remake, although this won't be with the big screen in mind. Rather that the Ivan Reitman-directed original is getting a video on demand refresh. If it works out, there are apparently plans for a TV series as well.
Showbiz411 reports that the outline of the new film will see whoever takes on Arnie's role working with an Indian sidekick by the name of Sanjit. The pair will be hunting for a missing flash drive, which has been mislaid somewhere in the witness protection program. And for reasons of it needing to be there else the film's title wouldn't work, said drive has turned up in a kindergarten class.
Couldn't they just Dropbox or something?
Anyway, the new Kindergarten Cop is being penned by David H. Steinberg, who wrote Slackers, American Pie Presents: The Book of Love, and a recent episode of The Simpsons. It's set to be directed, meanwhile, by Don Michael Hall, who's made Jarhead 2, Tremors 5, andLake Placid: The Final Chapter.
There's no word on casting yet. We'd wager most of our earthly possessions on Arnold Schwarzenegger not even having a piss in the direction of this one, yet alone making any kind of cameo.
