They said that about Leslie Nielsen at the time too.

As a huge fan of Police Squad/Naked Gun(s) I think Liam Neeson is a perfect fit to honour a legend.

I don’t think Neeson is the problem… I worry about the writing. It’s not going to be as silly or as funny as the original. Just another remake…

I’m a humourless grumpy old bastard that lost the lust for life a while ago. The trailer made me literally laugh out loud.

The only question, for me, is if they can keep the jokes coming for 90 minutes.
