The Naked Gun remake
Surely, they can't be serious?!?
A long-gestating reboot of the “Naked Gun” franchise with Liam Neeson is finally moving forward at Paramount, landing a release date of July 15, 2025.
The currently-untitled project will be directed and executive produced by Avika Schaffer, who co-wrote the draft script alongside Dan Gregor and Doug Man. Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins are producing via their company Fuzzy Door. |

This has got to be a goof of some kind. As in a joke not a mistake, although it also qualifies as that. But then I remembered Neeson in this. I know Leslie Nielsen and his deadpan delivery is what made the role so hilarious but I'm still not sure if Neeson can make it work.

Re: The Naked Gun remake
Okay, so I saw the title and thought "well, either they absolutely nail the casting or this is a disaster." And then I saw Neeson and...yeah. That might work. I immediately thought of the video WHIT just posted. As nuts as this sounds, I think Neeson might be able to make it work. At the very least, casting him suggests the people involve understand why Leslie Nielsen was perfect for the role.

I think it's great casting because it will allow Neeson to make fun of precisely the kind of tough hombre roles he's been playing for the last few years...

Re: The Naked Gun remake
I'm getting probably too much amusement from the fact that "Liam Neeson," as a name, kinda sounds like someone trying to remember and then say Leslie Nielsen's name. While drunk.

Re: The Naked Gun remake
Hollywood has completely run out of original ideas.
Kinda sad. |

Re: The Naked Gun remake
Can it catch the humor of the original though, that's the question.

Liam Neesom as Lt Frank Drebin? I don't know...I'm willing to keep an open mind.
