Liam Neeson's Naked Gun Reboot Adds Pamela Anderson

The Naked Gun Reboot film that's being spearheaded by Liam Neeson has added Pamela Anderson to its cast. Anderson is the first cast member besides Neeson to be announced in Paramount's reboot of the franchise; Neeson is reportedly playing the son of Lt. Frank Drebin and it's expected that the reboot will skewer more modern police procedurals . A 2012 Naked Gun video game took that route – and obviously police procedurals have continued to evolve since that time.

Pamela Anderson being cast in the Naked Gun reboot make be a sign that there will be a lot of familiar beats from the original films. Priscilla Presley was the first "bombshell" character that Frank Drebin met onscreen; however, the third film, Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult, famously had sex symbol icon Anna Nicole Smith flexing her comedic chops in a big way – something many didn't expect to see from her.

Rescue Rangers screenwriters Dan Gregor and Doug Mand were previously attached to write a new draft of The Naked Gun reboot, working from a script written by Mark Hentemann & Alec Sulkin. Akiva Schaffer will direct and produce, with Family Guy's Seth MacFarlane also producing alongside Erica Huggins through their Fuzzy Door imprint.

What Is The Naked Gun Series About?The Naked Gun franchise started out as Police Squad!, a short-lived 1982 TV series from the filmmakers who created Airplane!. While the show didn't connect with audiences in a big way, the 1988 film adaptation titled Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, became a massive hit at the box office, earning more than $150 million against a reported budget of just $12 million.
