Hollywood heavyweight Liam Neeson is stepping into the world of slapstick comedy, joining the cast of the much-anticipated reboot of The Naked Gun. The action star will share the screen with iconic Baywatch alum Pamela Anderson, marking a fresh twist for the beloved franchise.
Neeson, best known for his intense roles in thrillers like Taken, is taking on a comedic challenge, stepping into the shoes once filled by the legendary Leslie Nielsen. The original Naked Gun series, a parody of police procedurals, became a cult classic in the late 80s and early 90s.
Pamela Anderson, who recently made waves with her Netflix documentary, is also confirmed for the project. Her involvement adds a nostalgic touch, given her status as a 90s pop culture icon.
The reboot, currently in pre-production, aims to revive the absurd humour and deadpan delivery that made the original films so memorable. Fans are eager to see how Neeson, typically associated with gritty action roles, adapts to the over-the-top comedic style of The Naked Gun.
No official release date has been announced, but industry insiders suggest filming could begin later this year.
