Amongst the many thousands of remakes in the works in Hollywood is one of 80s comedy classic Police Academy, which is now moving moving forward at New Line with Deadline reporting that Scott Zabielski’s been hired to direct it. The film will mark Scott Zabielski’s feature directorial debut, after serving as a director and producer on the Comedy Central series Tosh.0.

The studio first started working on a new version of Police Academy back in October 2010, when Paul Maslansky, who produced all the original Police Academy movies, set the project up. It’s taken a while but now they have a director, with a screenwriter now being sought.

Although this will be Scott Zabielski’s first feature film, he does have a bit of experience, which will come in handy. He went through the real police academy and currently serves as a reserve police officer in West Hollywood.
