Not sure about this, or if it's needed at all.

Should just do an Angie Tribeca movie

Was Liam Neeson cast because someone misread his name as Leslie Nielsen?

 

[COB]

The originals (and Police Squad! of course) are some of my favourite comedies ever so I'm not sure about this, but fuck it why not.

I think he's friends with Seth MacFarlane.

Also Holy **** Neeson is 70?! Stupid time moving forward...

Do chuid

Trailer is out



I've MIXED FEELINGS. It's a good thing it didn't drop earlier on the week cause it looks VERY April's Fool-ish

My husband showed me this and I said ‘wait, is this an April Fools?’

 

[Ill Advised]

Looks bonkers. I’m in

This is so bizarre. Naked Gun / Police Squad is a very specific type of humour and Leslie Nielsen was a very specific type of comedy actor.

I’ll reserve judgement but I don’t see Liam Neeson in this role at all.

"From producer Seth MacFarlane"

aaaand I'm out.

 

[Joseph]

I mean it’s not needed. The originals are classics and the humor from that era really can’t (and probably shouldn’t) be replicated. Same with the Police Academy series, Porky’s, Revenge Of The Nerds, etc.

Fine. I enjoyed the OJ joke.

It had better not be the only good one in the film.
