Baywatch actress (and model) Pamela Anderson has starred in comedic and satirical titles like ‘Scary Movie 3’, ‘Borat’ and ‘Superhero Movie’. Now, she has another big project in the works.
According to official reports, Anderson will be starring opposite BAFTA and Golden Globe Winner Liam Neeson in a yet-untitled Naked Gun reboot. The Paramount Pictures’ project is set for a July 18, 2025 theatrical release.
The Naked Gun media franchise, also known as Police Squad!, consists of crime spoof-comedies, based on an original story written by the comedy filmmaking trio Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker. The installments include one television series and three theatrical films.
During the early 1990s, the Naked Gun film trilogy was a global hit, racking up over $216 million at the box office. The franchise was revered for its outrageous parody, ridiculous set-ups, and on-screen sight gags. The movies revolve around a bumbling police investigator Lt. Frank Drebin and his comedic encounters with hitmen, murderers, and terrorist organizations!
Paramount has evidently taken up the initiative to bring old-school comedies back to the big screen with its Sandra Bullock-Channing Tatum adventure romance ‘The Lost City’ and the original high-school clique drama ‘Mean Girls’.
The whopping collections that both titles have garnered worldwide bear testament to the audiences affinity toward this genre!
