Invitations were sent out to many of the original cast (including Kim Cattrall and Sharon Stone) to make cameo appearances.
Steve Guttenberg stated in an interview that he might possibly direct the film and return as Mahoney if the script was right.
This movie was first announced in 2003 as a Warner Brothers/Village Roadshow co-production, with filming then planned to take place in Australia. Jerry Weintraub and Bruce Berman were originally attached as executive producers.
Attached as writers at one point were Hugh Wilson and his daughter Maggie. The Wilsons' concept, originally titled Police Academy: 1123, was re-tooled into The First Force (????). Another script written by David Diamond and David Weissman was later re-written by Jeremy Garelick. Tim Kazurinsky had also written a screenplay for the film. According to Paul Maslansky, there were at least nine different scripts submitted for consideration, most of which all involved parties could not agree on making.
Steve Guttenberg confirmed on his Twitter (Sep 3, 2018) that the next Police Academy is coming but no details yet.
