Pamela Anderson Joins Naked Gun Cast for Liam Neeson Reboot
According to Deadline, Baywatch vet has signed on to star opposite Liam Neeson in Paramount Pictures‘ upcoming reboot. The character description for Anderson’s role remained under wraps, along with the plot details.
The film is scheduled to make its debut in theaters on July 18, 2025. Even though the untitled reboot currently has no direct competition on the day of its release, it will still be debuting in the same month as three high-profile movies: Gareth Edwards‘ new Jurassic World movie, James Gunn‘s Superman and Marvel Studios‘ The Fantastic Four.
The untitled project will be a modern reimagining of the 1980s comedy film The Naked Gun, which was led by late comedic actor Leslie Nielsen. It will be directed and executive produced by Akiva Schaffer of The Lonely Island comedy group (Hot Rod), who has been attached to helm the reboot since 2022. Schaffer also co-wrote the screenplay with Dan Gregor and Doug Mand. It is also produced by Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins for Fuzzy Door, with Daniel M. Stillman executive producing.
The original 1988 movie served as a spin-off to 1982’s Police Squad! It featured Nielsen reprising his role as Detective Sergeant Frank Drebin. It went on to spawn off two more sequels, including 1991’s The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear and 1994’s Naked Gun 33 1⁄3: The Final Insult.
