Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele have signed on to produce the new 'Police Academy' movie.
The duo were previously cast members of 'MADtv'. They went on to write and star in sketch show 'Key & Peele', which premiered its third series on Comedy Central in September and was recently renewed for a fourth, reported Digital Spy.
It is unclear if the comedy pairing will also appear in the rebooted franchise.
Scott Zabielski was originally set to make his directorial debut with the project, but has since left. Original producer Paul Maslansky is also back for the remake.
The original series, which made its debut in 1984, starred Steve Guttenberg and Kim Cattrall. It focused on a group of incompetent misfits who join the Police Academy.
The series wrapped up in 1994 in 'Police Academy: Mission to Moscow'.
