AMC A list question: does the movie get AMC's money as soon as you book or only once you check in?

I was reading the IMDB trivia for Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol and there was this little detail buried in it

quote:

Around the time this movie was made, a full-motion Police Academy video game was also filmed with the original cast, for Hasbro's NEMO console. According to developer Mark Turmell, the game was "essentially a lost Police Academy movie" which had multiple story paths that the player could choose. Unfortunately, the funding ceased when Hasbro decided not to proceed with the console.

Does anybody know any more about this? Or could point me to some places to find more information? Has any of the footage surfaced?

For a moment, my brain mixed up that movie with Prayer of the Rollerboys. Lol.

somebody in Games hooked me up with the deets, that Police Academy was entirely filmed, and the footage still exists. There just needs to be some incitement to actually take it and turn it into the game. Which, with modern technology, would be quite simple.

It's killing me that the footage for an entire Police Academy FMV game with all the original actors exists, but will probably stay in somebody's closet until the footage degrades to unusability.

it's probably just Night Trap footage they reused. Except the panty raiding cops became vampires

We'll also never get to play that FMV 3DO game where Rudy Ray Moore played a fireman.

It also had Timothy Leary, Mark Mothersbaugh and Tony Hawk in it.

Also, Showing Up was really good! Go see it if you have the chance. Michelle Williams and Hong Chau are both fabulous, and have this really like electric resentment/friendship chemistry. It also turned out to be way more about Family than I expected, and I’m a sucker for that poo poo.
Oh yeah also Andre 3000 is in it and he’s so cool.
michelle williams is in the running for frumpiest frump that ever frumped in that movie, in complete contrast to her performance in fabelmans

oh poo poo I just realized something about Elvis. It should be called Shin Elvis. It does the exact same thing as Shin Godzilla, takes this cultural icon that has been transformed by decades of kitsch, and strips that all the away, strips away the audience's familiarity with the subject and lets the audience see with fresh eyes what was so transformative and awesome about the subject when they first appeared.

This was a very good insight.

Warner Bros. is remaking Wings of Desire again, this one with the same title as the first remake (City of Angels).

Why. Leave Wim Wenders alone, you fucks. That movie is perfect as it is.

Repulsion too. The main character is clearly not well due to childhood abuse, which is just hosed up. This is clearly a topic Polanski feels is necessary to explore and draw attention to... and then he does it himself.
