Police Academy is a Ladd Company and Warner Bros. film. All of the cottage buildings on the Lakeshore Grounds were used in this 1980s comedy blockbuster, both inside and out, as well as the cricket pitch to the south and the shoreline. The campus became the Police Academy where instructors must contend with a wave of unconventional recruits after the city’s new mayor removes all restrictions on enrolment. The Police Academy movies offer a glimpse into what the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital looked like before the campus fell into disrepair in the 1980s. Interior bedrooms, offices, and even shower stalls are seen in the film as they appeared at the time of the closing of the hospital.
The image on the poster is drawn by well-known movie poster artist Drew Struzan. Drew Struzan started his career illustrating album covers in the 1960s and 70s. From there, he began illustrating and designing movie posters in the 1980s and 90s. He created posters for block buster series like Indiana Jones and Star Wars. Struzan’s work became well known and many directors (such as George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and Guillermo Del Toro) asked for him specifically to do work for their films. Struzan mainly focused on movie posters until he retired in 2015 after finishing his final movie poster for the film Star Wars Episode VII. He continues to create but not for film and music purposes.
