Syfy Channel Filming ‘Police Academy’ Reunion (& Giant Lava Shooting Spiders)
Riding the marginal success of their Sharknado series, the Syfy Channel has another silly B-movie in production: Lavalantula. It’s exactly what it sounds like, a tarantula that shoots lava. But this time they have an ace up their sleeve in the form of a mini-Police Academy reunion!
Lavalantula stars Steve Guttenberg (Mahoney), Leslie Eastebrook (Callahan), and Michael Winslow (Larvell Jones)! To be sure this band of cop comedy legends are in the right hands, Syfy has brought in Big Ass Spider (our review) director Mike Mendez.
According to EW, Lavalantula is currently in production and will air sometime next summer. For now, check out the poster below and PRAY Michael Winslow busts out some crazy sound effects with his mouth.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
