Steve Guttenberg to direct Police Academy
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/ar ... emy-8.html
Twenty years after leaving the film franchise which made his career, Steve Guttenberg is returning to the Police Academy series.
The 50-year-old actor is set to direct Police Academy 8 - the long-awaited follow-up to the last sequel Police Academy: Mission to Moscow.
The Hollywood star revealed his plans to rejuvenate the comedy franchise at a question and answer session to promote his upcoming appearance in panto in Bromley, Kent.
The actor is currently rehearsals to play Baron Hard-up in the upcoming production of Cinderella, which starts on December 5th.
He is starring alongside Absolutely Fabulous star Helen Lederer (Fairy Godmother) and Nickelodeon presenter Laura Hamilton (CInderella) in the show.
At the Q&A session in Bromley, Guttenberg said he was looking forward to directing Police Academy 8, but wasn't sure whether he would appear in the movie or not.
He joked: 'I wouldn't star in that kind of rot.'
Guttenberg bowed out of the franchise after starring in Police Academy 4: Citizens On Patrol in 1987, although the studio continue to make a three further films.
Despite his career being less high-profile that it was in the Eighties, Guttenberg admitted he was constantly working and he was grateful for his career every day.
He said: 'I’m appreciative of my career everyday. If I wasn’t doing this I would be working over the road as a Boots cashier.'
He went on to star in a host of hit Eighties films, including Three Men And A Baby, Short Circuit and Cocoon.
Earlier this year he started in Dancing With The Stars, the U.S. version

Guttenberg was interviewed on BBC Radio 5 yesterday afternoon. He came across very well as a self-deprecating type who doesn't take himself very seriously.
