With the tidal wave of reboot/remake news washing over us daily, it's possible that we (I) completely miss or purposefully disregard that which does not please me. The news that there is a Naked Gun reboot being threatened does not surprise me. Nor does it fill me with joy.
The Dissolve reports that David Zucker, the writer/director of all your favorite spoofs from the 70s and 80s who subsequently went crazy, was approached to be involved in the redeux but declined, saying "they don't want to do that style of spoof that I do."
It's unclear whether the disagreement comes from Ed Helms donning the patented Frank Drebin persona of incompetence or that Zucker was most recently involved in the some of the latter Scary Movie crap movies or that he is a wacko hell-bent on making fun of Michael Moore.
Either way, the point remains: they're remaking The Naked Gun? With Ed Helms? Who the hell thought this was a good idea?
