Mom can we get some Leslie Nielsen?
Sorry, best I can do is Liam Neeson.
Same initials at least, but Neeson does do comedy, I’ll give it a shot
It’s that serious delivery he does so well lol. This Ted 2 scene was brilliant
I love his improv
He was also really good on his episode of Derry Girls. If this movie isn’t funny, I don’t think it’ll be his fault.
This trailer doesn’t really have the same vibe as the original. Some funny bits though. Maybe it will be good?
I’m not sure Seth MacFarlane can quite pull off the ZAZ dumb humor, but no one thought of Leslie Nielsen as a comedic actor before Airplane, so I can give Liam Neeson a chance in the role.
I definitely think the weak link will be Seth McFarlane. You can see in the trailer that there are a lot of jokes that lean more into the sophmoric rather than the absurd.
Also, it feels too angry.
Just fucking no.

All in.
I made it to the part where Liam rips the arms off the bad guy and stopped watching. That’s only ten seconds into the trailer!
I like the jokes they’re making, as there seems to be hope that it’s a spiritual successor rather than just another sequel/rehash.
One can hope. Loved the originals.That’s casting I would least expect.
Nielsen wasn’t considered a comedic actor before his role in Airplane and he was cast because they wanted him to bring the serious, dramatic actor presence/reputation to the role, so it’s worked before
Oh I didn’t mean it in a bad way. The dramatic Neeson with Naked Gun style humor worked on me. I don’t remember the original movies that much but I felt it did have similar energy.
It’s nice to see those ridiculous gags, just simple stuff. Old movie before was either catch the joke or miss it. This trailer is pretty basic tho.
I just hope it doesn’t get cringe.
“I went up and down areas with a cosh, hoping I’d be approached by somebody - I’m ashamed to say that - and I did it for maybe a week, hoping some [uses air quotes with fingers] ‘black bastard’ would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something, you know? So that I could kill him.” - Liam Nelson
