There aren’t too many details yet, but we’ve heard that Liam Neeson is set to star in a brand new Naked Gun movie (yet to begin production).

The biggest rumour about his role is that Neeson could be playing the son of Leslie Nielsen’s character, Frank Drebin.

Leslie Nielsen starred in the original Naked Gun series as Det. Sgt. Frank Drebin. Naked Gun was based on the crime spoof series Police Squad! and launched in 1988 with the film From the Files of Police Squad! There were two sequels, 1991’s The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear and 1994’s Naked Gun 33+1?3: The Final Insult.

Leslie Nielsen sadly passed away in 2010.
