‘Kindergarten Cop’ Remake in the Works at Universal

Quote:

Arnold Schwarzenegger will not be back this time, but if we’re lucky, the cute ferret will

Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s beloved 1990 comedy “Kindergarten Cop” is getting the remake treatment from Universal’s 1440 Entertainment division, which has set its sights on a home video release, an individual familiar with the project has told TheWrap.

Unlike the “Terminator” series, Schwarzenegger will not be back this time, having graduated from the franchise long ago.

Ivan Reitman directed the original movie, which starred Schwarzenegger as a cop who’s forced to go undercover as a kindergarten teacher in order to catch a drug dealer whose son attends the school.

While Schwarzenegger’s female partner, Det. Phoebe O’Hara, was played by Pamela Reed, the title character will be teamed with an Indian sidekick named Sanjit this time around. The duo will be looking for a missing flash drive from the Federal Witness protection program and on the run from Albanian villains according to Roger Friedman at Showbiz 411, who first reported the news.

As for a love interest, expect there to be another beautiful teacher to fill the heels formerly worn by Penelope Ann Miller.

Don Michael Paul will direct from a script by David H. Steinberg (“American Pie 2”). Paul has experience making straight-to-video sequels, having directed “Sniper: Legacy” and “Jarhead 2: Field of Fire.”

It would’ve been fun to see Universal remake this for the big screen with Chris Hemsworth or Vin Diesel replacing Schwarzenegger, but this direct-to-video remake can make up for that by bringing back Linda Hunt as the no-nonsense principal. At least give us another adorable ferret!

I hope this somehow prompts Criterion to release the original.

It's not a tumor! It's just a lump where our creativity used to be.

I need a picture of that gynecologist kid giving a thumbs down.

Hopefully this is darker and grittier than the original, that was my main complaint.

No offense but I think you missed the entire point of the original film.

It was about terrible acting? I thought it was about a cop who worked in a Kindergarten?

Dylan34 · 06-13-2015, 01:02 AM

I have no words to describe how I'm feeling!!!!!!! This is about as dumb as it gets when it comes to remakes!!!!

iank · 06-13-2015, 01:04 AM

Why don't they just turn every fabulous movie I grew up with into a soulless shadow of its former self?

Oh wait, they have.
