Default 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,

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

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

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

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.

Cast
Liam Neeson as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr.
Pamela Anderson as Beth
Paul Walter Hauser as Capt. Ed Hocken Jr.
Kevin Durand
Danny Huston as Richard Cane
Liza Koshy
Cody Rhodes
CCH Pounder
Busta Rhymes
Michael Bisping
Eddy Yu
Moses Jones as Nordberg Jr.
Production
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]

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.

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.”
