Liam Neeson will no longer do Horror films
 

He spoke on Loose Women
on a separate interview with Pamla Anderson
GK Barry did it.


He still does his own fight scenes
as it is rehearsed


He is now 73

First time in a silly classic Comedy remake

Naked Gun.


Nice to see him talk honestly,

He’s done horror films?

Literally thinking this myself

Looks like he did a couple of badly rated ones years ago, maybe that's why he stopped? [emoji23]

I think he has done films with some horror aspects in them

I want to see Naked Gun, I loved the original :hee:

who are they going to get to play OJ ? :laugh:

…he has skills that make him a nightmare for people like you…if you question him, he will look for you, he will find you…and he will kill you…

…he was in the 1999 Haunting film, as was Owen Wilson…

…he’s made a terrific friendship from it with Pamela Anderson, they’ve both hugely bonded during the filming, which is lovely to see …:love:…

Don’t really rate him to be honest

Qui Gon :love:

…Liam is listed as Frank Jnr and Moses Jones, an actor who I’m not familiar with is listed as playing Not Nordberg Jnr…:laugh:..

I recently read the book this film was based on. Utter trash. Wasn’t even scary.

…I can’t actually recall the movie/storyline…I mean, I know that I’ve seen it and have a vague recollection of the characters/cast but I’m thinking that it didn’t make a significant impact on me…

I only remember the original, not sure I have seen all the sequels

The Naked Gun is an upcoming American action comedy film directed by Akiva Schaffer, who co-wrote the script with Dan Gregor and Doug Mand. It serves as a legacy sequel to Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult (1994) and is the fourth film in The Naked Gun franchise. The film stars Liam Neeson as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., alongside Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Kevin Durand, and Danny Huston.

The Naked Gun is scheduled to be released in the United States by Paramount Pictures on August 1, 2025.

Cancelled previous attempt
Although 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994) was intended to be the final installment, in 2009, it was revealed that a fourth film starring Leslie Nielsen was coming out as a direct-to-TV sequel, titled The Naked Gun: What 4? Rhythm of Evil, with a story about Frank training a young rookie. The film was given the title . The script was thought to be very funny, but due to financial reasons, it was canceled in 2009. The script was written by Alan Spencer, who said he signed on to write the film as a "rescue mission" to save an inferior sequel from happening. It impressed Paramount executives and online reviewers so much that it was briefly shifted to the theatrical department, while the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker team, original writers of the saga, tried to stop it from happening.

Spencer wrote a sizable role for Nielsen, who would be passing the torch to a new generation of incompetent cops, but Paramount asked him to reduce the part to a cameo for budgetary reasons, and later decided to remove his character altogether. After this last request, Spencer then left the project and the film never got made.[2][3][4]

Ra's Al Ghul :love: :love:


he played that so well, opposite to Christian Bale's Batman



i'm really not sure about Liam in comedy :laugh: but we can be positively surprised maybe

Thanks Ammi


Looks great

Is Liam Neeson known for his comic timing? I don't know... I am a big fan of his but I'm not sure he can add anything to the Naked Guns that came before. Leslie Nielsen he aint. I remember Steve Martin, who I find hilarious, playing Bilko and it falling flat on its face. Also the Pink Panther reboots... dire. The new Naked Gun is not something I'm going out of my way to see.

:laugh: looks like a fun rainy day flick

:joker:


Oh yea I forgot about that film.

He has comedic timing in Ted 2 and the Die in the west? Something like that, by the family guy creator.

I think the new Naked Gun looks good though it will be washed down by today’s standards so it won’t offend anyone etc

…it’s obviously not released for a few more days but there is a great critic review of the movie in general and of Liam Neeson in the Frank role…

Now, in a twist that will raise eyebrows amongst those who remember him growling “I will find you and I will kill you” in Taken, Liam Neeson has taken on Drebin’s badge and gun for The Naked Gun 2025. And get this: he’s absolutely hilarious. “The new Naked Gun has some of the funniest gags I’ve seen since Anchorman,” posted one critic. “It’s looking good.”

…another 1990 Liam classic horror movie…timeless…

This.

Is this a horror? I always thought of it as a CBM

I thought it was Sci-Fi

Just checked, it’s listed as an action/horror

OK


Sci-Fi/horror
I would call it

…I think that there was some kind of lost in translation in what he said anyway in that I read that he said that now that he’s in his 70’s, he was looking to retire from action movies before the end of this year …in a magazine interview he’d previously said that being cast in action roles ‘had to stop sometime’ …and from Naked Gun, maybe more comedy roles might be the direction he goes…?…he has in his career done a few horrors as well…(…no pun intended because I imagine many actors have also…)…but I don’t think that was what was meant specifically so much as action roles…in the interview he also talks about him as an older person, not being able to do his own stunts anymore and how that’s made him feel that the time is right now also…anyway, I wasn’t sure about the Naked Gun reboot but it does look great fun…I love that silly to the point of hilarious type humour…

I can't name one.:joker:
