Iconic comedy film “Naked Gun” is getting a reboot scheduled for 2025 and will star Liam Neeson, Paramount Pictures revealed Wednesday. ...

Nielsen played Drebin over the course of three films, despite having been a dramatic actor prior to the role. “It’s been dawning on me slowly that for the past 35 years I have been cast against type,” Nielsen once said, according to ABC News, “and I’m finally getting to do what I really wanted to do.”

Could it be that Liam Neeson has also wanted to be a slapstick comedy actor his entire career, but somehow ended up in predominantly powerful action roles? Maybe! He was absolutely excellent as himself in the hit series, “Life’s Too Short.” Let’s hope he continues his brilliant talent in “Naked Gun,” as one wrong move in this remake could shatter his reputation as one of the best and most beloved actors of all time.
