Looking back at Liam Neeson's career, it's clear that the actor plays similar characters and sticks to the action genre. After he shared his opinion of Star Wars, fans could tell that he says yes to the projects that thrill and interest him. When news broke that Liam Neeson would star in a remake of Naked Gun, it was clear that this was an exciting movie for him to appear in.

In April 2024, Deadline reported that Pamela Anderson would star in the movie as well. Since Anderson's most well-known acting job included wearing the iconic red bathing suit in the Baywatch TV series, it will be great to see her in a weightier part. In this article, we'll take a look at the details that are known about Anderson and Neeson starring in the remake of the $216 blockbuster The Naked Gun trilogy, along with some of the most beloved movies that they have appeared in throughout their careers.

Pamela Anderson And Liam Neeson Were Cast In The Remake Of The $216 Blockbuster Movie Naked Gun

According to Deadline, Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are the stars attached to the remake of Naked Gun. While the Naked Gun remake will be released on July 18th, 2025, there is no title at the time of this writing.

While Neeson will play the main character Detective Frank Drebin, Anderson will play his romantic interest, according to Gamespot.com. There is no name for this character at this moment. In each of the movies in the original Naked Gun trilogy, Drebin tries to solve a new case that often involves a public figure, such as Queen Elizabeth II.

Since Naked Gun's box office gross was more than $216 million, according to Deadline, it seems likely that the Naked Gun remake will make just as much money. According to The Daily Mail, the first Naked Gun movie grossed $152.4 million. In 1991, The Los Angeles Times reported that the Naked Gun sequel grossed $20.8 million its first weekend in movie theaters and took the number one spot.

What Are The Naked Gun Trilogy Movies And When Were They Released?

• The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988)
• The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991)
• Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994)

In 2022, Liam Neeson mentioned a Naked Gun remake, and it seems like it was on people's radars for a long time. As fans know, it can take a long time for a movie to get off the ground in Hollywood.

According to People, he said:

"I've been approached by Seth McFarlane and Paramount Studios to maybe resurrect the Naked Gun films. It'll either finish my career or bring it in another direction. I honestly don't know."

As Deadline reported, Seth McFarlane, known for creating Family Guy, is still involved with the remake. He was named as a producer on Naked Gun through Fuzzy Door, the production company he runs with Erica Huggins. Fuzzy Door produced many popular movies such as Ted and Ted 2.

Neeson told The Hollywood Reporter he loves the Naked Gun remake screenplay and the director. He said:

"I thought, yeah, I guess I could do that as long as I play it dead seriously and not try and imitate Mr. Leslie Nielsen. He was wonderful. Akiva Schaffer is directing it and he’s from the [Saturday Night Live] world. I’m looking forward to it. It’s a good script, and there’s a few laugh out loud moments in it."

What Are Pamela Anderson And Liam Neeson's Most Popular Movies?

Considering the high profile Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson have in Hollywood, it makes sense that they would be paired together in the Naked Gun remake. They have both starred in several popular movies throughout their acting careers.

While Anderson is best known for starring in the Baywatch TV series, she appeared in a few films that were released in the 2000s and 2010s. Anderson had roles in Scooby-Doo, Scary Movie 3, and Borat, although these were much smaller than her role in Naked Gun will be. She also appeared in the 2017 Baywatch movie as Casey Jean Parker.

It will be interesting to see Liam Neeson in a movie like the Naked Gun remake that is a silly and fun action comedy considering his background in the action and drama genres. Some of Neeson's most popular movies include the Taken franchise, The Next Three Days, Clash of the Titans, and Batman Begins. The Taken franchise was also very profitable. Neeson is a big box office draw, which should help the remake of The Naked Gun.

Leslie Nielson, who starred in the original The Naked Gun franchise, had an acting career similar to Liam Neeson's. Nielson was known as a serious actor who starred in movies ranging from The Poseidon Adventure to The Patriot. He then branched out into more entertaining fare like Prom Night, Airplane! and Naked Gun.

When comparing the two stars' careers, however, it's clear that Liam Neeson has had a more notable movie career. Anderson might be fine with that since she has been involved in many other projects, including the 2023 documentary Pamela: A Love Story.

When the actress talked about her life in an interview with High Snobiety magazine, she said, “Success is living your life as you want. feel successful because I’ve overcome and gotten through certain things and feelings.”
