 NEW YORK — Lt. Frank Drebin is back on the case. Paramount Pictures is moving ahead with a long-gestating remake of “Naked Gun,” the studio announced Wednesday. Liam Neeson will star as the bumbling police detective Drebin in the role made famous by Leslie Nielsen. Akiva Schaffer ("Hot Rod," “Pop Star: Never Stop Never Stopping”) will direct the film, set for release in July 2025. The script is by Dan Gregor, Doug Man and Schaffer, who collaborated on 2022's “Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers.” Soorrry - that guy's not funny. ETA: to add S&W Mdl. 15 content:

I refuse to watch anything with that shitstain Liam Neeson in it. Mr. Rabid anti-gun, and every movie poster of his is him holding a gun. F that hypocrite, he should go skiing more.

While I believe that remaking this movie is a travesty, Liam Neeson is about the worst choice I can think for that role. He's been so type-cast as a serious "revenge getter", that it'll be difficult to envision him an any thing other than a dramatic thriller role.

Terrible idea, but if you're going to do it, at least pick someone who fits right in being an idiot.
Steve Carell or Will Ferrell would have been a better choice. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: To be fair, Airplane worked so well because the people in it weren’t known for comedy, including Leslie Nielsen. Yeah people forget Nielsen was known for serious roles prior to Airplane and was cast against type specifically because that juxtaposition was funny. He had only really been a B list celebrity until then and became a bonafide star after. I could see it working with neisen if it was played right. Shit Neisen was only really known for art house and Oscar bate films before being cast against type in Taken. Honestly though the whole Zucker style comedy got fucked out by the Scary Movie franchise and those derivatives. Comedies in general have been in a slump for a while. It’s not all woke Hollywood stifling it either. Comic book movies became so dominant in money making, and one of the only things people go to theaters for, they just switched wholesale to what people were paying the most to see. I tried watching The Machine last weekend because I like Bert Kreiser and thought he seemed affable enough to carry a movie. I made it 1/3rd of the way through and turned it off. It was just terrible. Comedy was on a slide itself when they started all leaning heavy on the adlib style Will Ferrel nailed (even got old watching him do it) over well thought out jokes, dialogues, and characterizations. You’d never see a My Cousin Vinny these days. |

Not interested in the remake and I think Neeson is a terrible choice to take the role, but you guys saying he's already typecast in serious roles apparently don't remember that Leslie Nielson was typecast as a dramatic actor, too. That's why his roles in Airplane! and The Naked Gun were so funny. He was playing the straight guy...as a bumbling, good natured idiot.

Leslie Nielson successfully pulled off going from a straight man to a funny man, but there is no way that commie Neeson can do it.
That movie will be horrible! |
