"The Naked Gun" reboot with Liam Neeson
 

It's happening:

I think Liam Neeson is perfect. I've seen his deadpan comedy on "Life is Short" and it's great. Here's a clip:

That clip was funny, but I can't imagine how Liam Neeson could possibly fill the shoes of Leslie Nielsen.....

But I'm interested, for sure....

It's a bad idea, and yet...
it could work.

So did hydrogen airships and Vietnam, so…

Yeah - like seeing that clip above I believe 100% that he could do that deadpan-fool part of Frank Drebbon, but can he do the actual funny, goof-@$$$ stuff that punctuated the deadpan, ala Leslie Nielsen?

Well, Liam Neeson is surely no Leslie Nielsen, but it could work, though it'd work better as its own series rather than a remake.

Just make him a different Drebin.

Maybe his son?

Young Nisson looked very much like young Nielsen...and that's the only thing I see similar between them.

Of course, there is a chance that Nisson is some hidden comedic genius, but a lot hinges on the gags and jokes and we know that nowadays ti would be hard to do, since dumb**** snowflakes will find 99% of jokes "oppressive" or "-phobic".

So it will be either toothless non-sequitur parodies, like those Very Scary Movies and **** or extremely sterilized thing.

The Naked Gun reboot/remake
 

Feels like a vibe like the 21 Jump Street movies, which I loved. I'm pretty sure this only exists because of Neeson's time on "Extras."

Blew the chance of calling it The Taken Gun.

Surprised they didn't make the main character Frank's daughter.

Given that trailer, there is almost a 100% chance they make some quasi-reference to Taken in the movie.

Gotta love that OJ bit in there. Yeesh.

The Naked Gun 4.4 - Son of a Gun

Glad it'll be a follow-up legacy sequel, hope it takes the mickey out of those types of movies also. It's hilarious that they've worked in the reality all three leads are dead into a gag.

Myself, I would have prefered "Naked Gun 444 25/100: Son Of A Gun!"

Dammit I was too slow

I honestly never thought for a second it would be a legacy sequel, or even a "remake," necessarily. Just a similar but new take on the KIND of movies that trilogy was.

The teaser was surprisingly good. Especially the OJ bit.

I'm going to be asking myself the whole movie "why does Drebin Jnr have an Irish accent".
