Universal’s 1400 division is remaking the classic 1990 Ivan Reitman film _Kindergarten Cop_, a Universal spokesperson confirmed to _EW_. The project is currently in pre-production Michael Don Paul is slated to direct. _American Pie_ writer David H. Steinberg is set to pen the screenplay, which involves some big changes from the original Arnold vehicle. The leading cop with will be paired with an Indian sidekick named Sanjit. Instead of hunting down a criminal’s ex-wife, it’s tracking down a lost flash drive…that finds its way to a kids’ classroom. Hilarity will likely ensue. _Kindergarten Cop_ will debut on Blu-ray/DVD. As of now, there are no plans for it to become a series.
