OG ‘Bare Gun’ Director Blasts Remake Trailer, No Plan to See

The trailer for the extremely anticipated remake of “The Bare Gun” simply dropped … and two folks with connections to the Leslie Nielsen basic inform TMZ they’ve robust love/hate reactions.

This is the deal … the trailer for the remake of the ’80s screwball police comedy dropped Thursday with the primary take a look at Liam Neeson within the starring position of Lt. Drebin.

David Zucker, the legendary director behind “Airplane” and the primary “Bare Gun,” tells TMZ … he watched the trailer and immediately regretted the choice. Ouch.

DZ mentioned the remake appears to be like crappy … actually, including, “I by no means noticed ‘Airplane 2’ as a result of you may’t unsee that stuff. I’m not planning on seeing the ‘Bare Gun’ remake both. I remorse having seen the trailer for it. It’s like watching  ‘2 Women 1 Cup.’ I can’t unsee it.”

For the uninitiated … “2 Women 1 Cup” is just about the grossest porn ever filmed — involving two ladies, a cup, and plenty of poop and puke — so, not a optimistic comparability.

His response is not that massive of a shock … David beforehand informed TMZ nobody from Paramount reached out to him for his 2 cents to seek the advice of on the reboot.

Seems that snub was insult to damage … ‘trigger he and his companions, Pat Proft and Mike McManus, submitted a script to the studio again in 2018 for a brand new ‘Gun’ movie — and nothing occurred.

So, David is clearly a tough cross … however somebody linked to O.J. Simpson praised the trailer — which is wild since O.J. is clearly being mocked.

As you may recall … previous to be an accused double assassin, O.J. did fairly a little bit of performing, together with taking part in Officer Nordberg within the three Nielsen ‘Bare Gun’ movies.

In a single scene within the trailer of the remake, Liam’s character is within the Police Squad’s Corridor of Legends weeping over his dad, Lt. Frank Drebin … however O.J. would not get the identical love from his personal character’s son.

O.J.’s longtime legal professional and executor of his property Malcolm LaVergne tells TMZ … he thought the joke was humorous … and it is good O.J. is acknowledged — since he was a star of the franchise.

He famous that the gag could be misplaced on some who did not see the unique movies and marvel why the hell O.J. is there … however those that know, will chuckle … in any case, he did!
