Scott Zabielski will direct New Line's reboot of the "Police Academy" franchise.
According to Variety, this will be Zabielski's feature directorial debut after having directed several episodes of Comedy Central's "Tosh.0."
Zabielski also has real police training as he is a reserve police officer in West Hollywood.
Original "Police Academy" producer Paul Maslansky is returning to produce the reboot.
David Diamond and David Weissman wrote the script.
Production is expected to start this year once the film has been cast.
"Academy" was a seven-film comedy series from Warner Bros. that revolved around the premise of a new mayor announcing a policy requiring the police department to accept all willing recruits. The series followed a group of misfit recruits in their attempts to prove themselves capable of being police officers.
The first film, "Police Academy," was released in 1984 and starred Steve Guttenberg, Kim Cattrall, Bubba Smith, David Graf, George Gaynes and Michael Winslow.
The series ended with 1994's "Mission to Moscow." The franchise took in about $240 million worldwide and inspired a pair of TV series.
