Frank Drebin will return to the big screen, but not the Frank Drebin we know and love. Paramount just revealed that they plan on rebooting the Naked Gun franchise, and we will see Ed Helms as the quirky police detective.
Writers from Reno 911 and Night at the Museum have been hired on to bring the Naked Gun reboot to life, and Ed Helms seems like a good choice to play the wacky Frank Drebin, even though I can’t see anyone but Leslie Nielsen play that role.
No word on when production will begin, or if they have a release date for the movie. I am going to say it right now though…2015 release. You just watch. Let me know what you think about this news.
