The scorned director of the original The Naked Gun, David Zucker, had choice words for the creators of a reboot that he was iced out of, based on a teaser trailer unveiled on Thursday, TMZreported. The trailer for the ‘80s cop-spoof features Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr., the lead role. Zucker, whose credits include Airplane and the first Naked Gun, said he instantly regretted watching the trailer. Claiming that the remake did not seem as well made, Zucker said: “I never saw ‘Airplane 2’ because you can’t unsee that stuff. I’m not planning on seeing the ‘Naked Gun’ remake either. I regret having seen the trailer for it. It’s like watching ‘2 Girls 1 Cup.’ I can’t unsee it.” The director was referring to an infamous scat fetish pornographic film made in 2007. No one from Paramount Pictures reached out to him as a consultant on the new film. To make things worse, his partners Pat Proft and Mike McManus reportedly submitted a script for a reboot to the studio back in 2018, but nothing ever came out of it.
