Pamela Anderson has been announced as the co-star alongside Liam Neeson in Paramount's upcoming reboot of The Naked Gun. The film, directed and executive produced by Akiva Schaffer, is a modern take on the classic Leslie Nielsen franchise.
Anderson, best known for her role in Baywatch, where she appeared in 110 episodes, has a strong background in comedy. Her performances in films like Scary Movie 3 and Superhero Movie have showcased her talent for satirical humor, making her a fitting choice for The Naked Gun reboot. She also reprised her role as C.J. Parker in the 2017 Baywatch movie.
The script for the reboot has been penned by Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, known for their work on the Emmy-winning Disney+ film Chip ‘N Dale: Rescue Rangers. Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins are producing the film through their company, Fuzzy Door, with Daniel M. Stillman serving as an executive producer.
The Naked Gun franchise originated from the Police Squad! TV series, starring Leslie Nielsen as Lt. Frank Drebin. The original film series, known for its absurd humor and clever sight gags, was a box office hit in the early 1990s, grossing over $216 million domestically.
Liam Neeson, primarily known for his serious roles in action films, expressed some apprehension about his comedic turn as Lt. Frank Drebin in The Naked Gun reboot. However, he reassured fans that the film is not a mere remake but a fresh take on the beloved franchise.
The Naked Gun is scheduled to hit theaters on July 18, 2025, promising a blend of humor and nostalgia for fans of the original series.
