No, It is True


[Liam Neeson is brilliant at playing the tough guy,
but now he's eyeing up a role as a
tough guy who's also really funny.
Deadline reports that the Northern Irish actor
is in talks to star in a Naked Gun reboot movie.

He would take over from the late
Leslie Nielsen,
who starred in three Naked Gun movies
that came out between 1988 and 1994.
Nielsen had originated his
Naked Gun character,
bumbling but fundamentally lovable
cop Frank Drebin,
in the 1982 TV series Police Squad!.

The Naked Gun movies were popular spoofs
sending up the tropes of the crime genre,
so it makes sense that funnyman
Seth MacFarlane is one of the producers
behind the reboot. Akiva Schaffer, a member
of comedy group The Lonely Island,
is on board as director.

Neeson wouldn't be playing Frank Debin,
but the son of Nielsen's much-loved character,
which seems like a classy way to
continue the franchise.
Nielsen passed away in 2010 at age 84.]
