‘Maybe we aren’t going to get ‘The Goonies 2’ anytime soon but, maybe we will have to settle for ‘Kindergarten Cop 2!’” Astorian Jerry Olson wrote. The original 1990 movie, shot mainly in Astoria, starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is pictured in a screenshot from the film.

The reboot is a whole other kettle of fish. There’s no word yet on where it will be filmed, but according to Roger Friedman at Shobiz411.com (http://tinyurl.com/kincop2), the movie comes from the same studio, Universal.

Yes, there’s still a kindergarten class, a beautiful teacher and witness protection in the story line, but major changes are afoot. For starters, there will be a new director and scriptwriter, an Indian sidekick named Sanjit, Albanian bad guys, and a missing flash drive. What there won’t be is Schwarzenegger.

Disappointed? As “Ahnold” says in the original movie, “Oh come on … Stop whining!”
