| Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow are teaming up to co-finance the eighth sequel in the Police Academy franchise. It's been 10 years since Police Academy: Mission to Moscow was released. Warners-based Jerry Weintraub is on board to produce, says the trade, and series creator Paul Maslansky is executive producing with Village Roadshow's Bruce Berman. The project is out to writers, with the exact direction of the newest installment yet to be determined. If the film is half as funny as this announcement, the WB has hit a gold mine. |

| Clint Eastwood and Steven Spielberg will collaborate on Flags of our Fathers: Heroes of Iwa Jima, a film based on the James Bradley book Flags of our Fathers. Eastwood will direct and Spielberg will produce the project, which will retell the story of the Battle of Iwa Jima, one of the fiercest battles of World War II. The legacy of the battle lives on in the unforgettable WWII image of 6 American soldiers erecting a flag on Iwa Jima. The script is being written by Paul Haggis and will go into production in 2005. We’ll go out on a limb here and say that this film has a chance of being better than Pearl Harbor. Just a small chance. |
