Liam Neeson’s ‘Naked Gun’ Trailer Sparks Outrage with Shocking David Zucker Comparison!

by

It’s evident that Zucker is far from excited about the fresh take on the series, as he feels sidelined from the new production. Known for not only spearheading the “The Naked Gun” franchise but also movies like “Airplane”, which featured the late rubber-faced Leslie Neilsen in the main role, Zucker’s displeasure with the upcoming movie was made clear when he compared the new teaser unfavorably. The first glimpse of the film, featuring Liam Neeson as Nielsen’s character’s son, elicited a less than glowing reaction from Zucker.

Enthusiasts of “The Naked Gun” series have expressed delight at the prospect of a new installment in the franchise. Liam Neeson, recognized for his gritty and action-packed roles, might just be the ideal candidate to satirize his action image through a more humorous style. The initial sneak peek, featuring Neeson donning a schoolgirl outfit and making an O.J. Simpson jest, has been met with positive reactions by many. However, Zucker seems uninterested in watching the entire movie, as he stated to TMZ: “I have no intention of seeing the rest of the film.

As a film enthusiast, I missed out on watching “Airplane 2” because once you’ve witnessed its content, it’s hard to forget. Similarly, I have no intention of catching the remake of “The Naked Gun”. The trailer alone was a regretful viewing experience for me, as disturbing as peeking at “2 Girls 1 Cup”. Once seen, it can never be unseen.

Instead of delving into specifics about the explicit adult video he mentioned, let me clarify that it’s so inappropriate, it ruined your chocolate ice cream experience. I strongly advise against searching for it in a public setting. To put it simply, watching this video gives a strong indication of Zucker’s disdain for the Naked Gun reboot.

Why Is David Zucker So Pissed About ‘The Naked Gun’ Reboot?

It had appeared for quite some time that a reboot of “The Naked Gun” would involve David Zucker, as he had proposed concepts and drafted a script for it long ago. But over time, the situation evolved, resulting in Zucker being excluded from the project. Instead, a fresh team led by executive producer Seth MacFarlane has taken over.

2023 saw the announcement that co-creator Zucker and original writer Proft were penning the fourth film in the franchise. However, their work was later replaced as a female executive at Paramount disapproved of a light-hearted, seemingly unintelligent joke included in their script. According to Zucker, this decision came despite things appearing to progress smoothly up until that point.

In a different wording: “Pat, Mike, and I penned a script for The Naked Gun 4. We learned that Jon Gonda at Paramount found our script amusing from start to finish. However, they eventually opted against Pat, Mike, and me, and instead chose Seth MacFarlane with Akiva Schaffer directing Liam Neeson. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to speak with Seth.

Approximately four years ago, Pat and I had a meeting at Paramount with the production head at the time. This woman took issue with a joke we wrote involving a police officer needing to adjust her Kevlar vest or undergo breast reduction, which seems trivial but was deemed inappropriate by them. It’s hard to fathom how they would handle Naked Gun 4, given their sensitivity towards such humor.

Indeed, such an outcome would understandably leave Zucker with a lingering bitterness, and it’s evident that he has no intention of letting it go easily. On the other hand, Neeson is poised to make his mark as a comedy legend when The Naked Gun movie premieres in cinemas by the end of this year.
