Liam Neeson says the 'Naked Gun' reboot he's slated to star in will hopefully start shooting this summer.
A fourth film in the beloved Naked Gun franchise has been in the cards for some time now, but through production woes, script rewrites, and creative differences, it has yet to materialize. It was back in October 2022 that a reboot project came as close as it has ever been to becoming a reality as Paramount Pictures officially gave the greenlight to the film, with Liam Neeson taking the leading role from series frontman, the late, great Leslie Nielsen.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY During the interview, Weintraub posed the question if the Naked Gun project is still going ahead in the future, to which Neeson confirmed the plans to move forward with the project, with the goal being to get it started this year. "Yes, we’re waiting on a script. Yeah, we’re hoping it’ll happen this year, maybe in the summertime," he said.
Plans for a fourth film have existed since 2009, when Nielsen was set to reprise his role as Frank Drebin. The project never materialized and plans for a direct sequel were put on hold following Nielsen's passing in 2010. This new reboot process was first announced in 2013 and has gone through a tumultuous development.
Stay tuned to Collider for future updates on the next outing of the Naked Gun series, and more from our interview with Neeson. Check out the trailer for Marlowe below:
