The Naked Gun co-creator David Zucker has claimed that Paramount and producer Seth MacFarlane “ruined” the long-running comedy franchise when they rebooted the film series last year.
The writer and director, 78, told The Independent that the decision to replace Leslie Nielsen with Liam Neeson was “moronic”.
However, Zucker added that he hasn’t actually seen the 2025 reboot, arguing: “If your daughter became a prostitute, would you go watch her work?”
