NEW YORK (AP) — 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 Debin in the role made famous by Leslie Nielsen.
Akiva Schaffer (“Hot Rod,” “Pop Star: Never Stop 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.”

Can't Hollywood come up with any original ideas, everything is a reboot with uber wokeness.
I wonder if OJ will make a cameo.

Liam Neeson is no Leslie Nielsen.

Here we go again. Are they already also planning an all-female reboot, with Lizzo, joy reid and jemele hill?

So...a non-funny, anti-2nd Amendment, avowed dis-armer of American citizens...starring in a movie with the word “Gun” in the title, trying to replace the original, hugely humorous actor, that can’t be replaced...
Yeah, I’ll be sure to watch it.

In the immortal words of Gene Wilder when informed Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory would be remade, complete with name change....”WHY?”

And the star is a mega leftist anti-Trump and anti-2A jerk wad.
I used to like some of his movies until he recently outed himself big time with Glenn Close.
This remake will be a complete dud, as with most Hollywierd redos.

Leslie Nelson used to play heavies just like Liam Nelson.
I think it’s perfect.

Leslie Nielsen’s roles were always serious before Airplane and Naked Gun.
Part of the humor will be the contrast between Neeson’s serious persona and the deadpan role.
To: DallasBiff
How about an original film?
To: DallasBiff
I used to like Liam until he opened his political pie hole.
Shut up and act.
