It could seem sacrilegious to reboot The Naked Gun<\/a><\/em>, but when anybody can fill the brilliantly deadpan sneakers of Leslie Nielsen, it is going to be Liam Neeson. The actor has been connected<\/a> to the reboot for just a few years, however the challenge lastly appears to be transferring ahead, with manufacturing anticipated to kick off later this 12 months.<\/p>\n

While talking with THR<\/a>, Liam Neeson was requested why he wished to sort out a flat-out comedy similar to The Naked Gun<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s funny because right before Christmas, my sons and I were looking through the Academy screeners and trying to find something silly, some silly, stupid movie that we could giggle at,<\/mark>\u201d Neeson defined. \u201cThere was none, after all, as they had been all very heavy and worldwide. I imply, good motion pictures however all very heavy. When Seth MacFarlane approached me about it \u2014\u00a0this was about two years in the past, now \u2014\u00a0I assumed, yeah, I assume I might do this so long as I play it useless significantly and never attempt to imitate Mr. Leslie Nielsen. He was great. Akiva Schaffer is directing it and he\u2019s from the [Saturday Night Live<\/em>] world. I\u2019m wanting ahead to it. It\u2019s an excellent script, and there\u2019s just a few snicker out loud moments in it.<\/mark>\u201c<\/p>\n

As Neeson talked about, Akiva Schaffer is ready to direct The Naked Gun<\/em> reboot, which Dan Gregor and Doug Mand will script.<\/p>\n
