Earlier this year, Paramount Pictures finally confirmed long-standing rumors about a “Naked Gun” reboot starring Oscar-nominee Liam Neeson (“Taken”). While that casting choice may seem odd, it’s about to get odder. It has now been announced that Neeson will star opposite Pamela Anderson (“Baywatch”).  While plot details are still secured in an evidence locker. We do know that Neeson will play Lt. Frank Drebin, originally portrayed by the late Leslie Nielsen. Anderson will be his love interest, her role will probably be similar to Jane Spencer originally played by Priscilla Presley.
