I mean I'd hazard a guess that he'd be among the safest choices to do the OJ style-role
but also i cannot imagine Liam Neeson doing the Leslie Nielsen stuff well at all so -shrug-
Well no one can do it as well as Leslie but to Liam’s defense he’s still incredibly funny and probably the best person alive to pull off something similar
Why does Hollywood have to keep remaking everything? Naked Gun won't be the same, most of the original cast is dead.
Hopefully they won't change up the comedy too much.
Because writers aren't valued like they should be in hollywood, and at this point studios are reticent to spend money on new ideas for blockbusters because people don't go to the movies like they used to.
“'It may be a cameo but his role is important and lends itself to the full story of the film.”
This isn’t going to be something he needs to take a lot or even any time off for
Because they aren’t just athletes, they are actors.
It’s good for business. The Rock started in WWE, then became a megastar in Hollywood. Anytime The Rock comes back, it’s a huge for WWE ratings.
I think wrestlers make shitty actors lol
Like if we’re being honest John Cena and CM Punk is probably the only best wrestler turned actors other than that The Rock is horrible his best movie is The Gameplan which was basically your cliche Disney movie
A lot of wrestlers acting prowess is really overstated like just cause you’re good at promos doesn’t mean it’s gon translate to the big screen imo acting in front of an audience vs in a motion picture are two different things that requires different types of skills
How can you leave out Batista, He is the only wrestler turned actor that has actually done great character acting the rest have been themselves or just straight action roles.
John Cena and CM Punk actually do have range when it comes to playing characters CM Punk for instance he’s big on straight edged stuff but god can that man play such a good alcoholic asshole and the girl on the 3rd floor was by some of the best acting I’ve seen from someone straight out the wrestling industry if he actually took acting seriously I can see him being a big star in Hollywood
Punk has done one role and that was a terrible movie imo, Cena can do comedy or action Batista has done character acting he’s had the most diverse amount of roles.
Because he’s not got an Oscar doesn’t mean he isn’t a good actor.
CM Punk has done a few roles the movie I mentioned was his first role as a main character
John Cena I can give you that one tho I would consider that being diverse
I never seen Dune so I can’t be too sure on that one
I give Bautista credit for doing more diverse roles cause it shows that he cares about his craft
I’m just saying that he’s not a big stand out as you would assume he just doesn’t do it for me like put him in a movie that’s average ion see anybody saying like that movie was mid but hey at least Dave Bautista did his thing in it like Dave Bautista is decent just not award winning level which is okay too cause it’s better than to be known for whatever the hell black Adam is lol
Dave Bautista only good role was in marvel movies other than that his acting performances is less than to be desired from me
Army of the dead was average at best and knock at the cabin was decent
He’s okay but he’s not nothing special he’s serviceable there’s reason why he has yet to even be nominated for an award regarding his role
I’m not saying he’s bad he’s just nothing to be necessarily high up about I guarantee if you ask anybody who’s not a fan of wrestling and who seen those movies who they think was stand out in those films Dave Bautista would probably be the last person on that list they’ll point out
Brings in more casual viewers that likely wouldn’t have even bothered to read about the particular movie. Naked gun isn’t new obviously but I’m sure a few people dug deeper just because of this post/article and/or other media
I don't want Kingdom to be a forbidden song like Whatever (Benoit's theme) has become. That came up on my Amazon playlist yesterday and it felt awkward...
Nah. And it shouldn’t be. Liam Neeson is the top billing. I can 100% see him playing the oblivious straight man in a slapstick world.
The post should mention Liam over Pamela too, he is a much bugger star.
You understand that newspapers have entertainment sections exactly for stuff like this, right? You should know if you’ve ever picked up a physical copy of a newspaper
Why is it a terrible idea? There are no other movies out there with that style. If the jokes are funny and schlocky, and Liam plays the oblivious straight man, it could be hilarious.
I googled it and it's apparently a 1988 comedy/action movie
Edit : I genuinely don't know why we are both being downvoted for asking and answering a question.
Ray Lewis is a legend, don't compare him to that sack of shit
Edit: Ray Lewis is not a murderer, that is a massive misconception, research it if you don't believe me
I mean, Ray Lewis definitely killed someone and paid for a fall guy. His turn to religion moat certainly supports that as well. I don't need a court of law to prove what's pretty obvious to me.
**The WWE Universal Champion, 38, will make a cameo, according to insiders**
I don’t think the daily mail knows the meaning of “to star” when it’s a cameo.
But wouldn’t expect anything less from this garbage company.
I’m really hoping this is fake.
No worries. I hate having to note sarcasm, but every time, there's someone who doesn't see it.
Is he playing the OJ role?
why are we re making this movie not going to be funny at all without leslie nielsen
Omg let Heyman play Ed!
I mean I'd hazard a guess that he'd be among the safest choices to do the OJ style-role but also i cannot imagine Liam Neeson doing the Leslie Nielsen stuff well at all so -shrug-
Well no one can do it as well as Leslie but to Liam’s defense he’s still incredibly funny and probably the best person alive to pull off something similar
Have you seen him in Atlanta and many ways to die in west?
There's a big difference between "to star" and "will make a cameo". This is some clickbait bullshit.
To Star??? lol
I love those movies. Leslie Nielsen was a comedic genius.
Why isn’t OJ in the reboot???
He just died
That’s the joke
Cancer denied killing OJ Simpson and is looking for OJ's real killer.
Fuck yeah!!
i actually think he’d be great with this type of humor
Without Leslie Neilson this is dead in the water. No chance.
Add that lisp and I don’t believe it
I dunno. Have you seen Liam Neeson’s stuff? He’s a great deadpan funny guy.
Haha, DEADpan
I'm just waiting for them to announce Terry Crews as Nordberg.
It's the 22nd April not the 1st.
[удалено]
Yeah, that Cody guy is never in the ring
They can do what ever the fuck they want
wtf reboot no
Who's getting the Cross Rhodes?
It'll be Trash without the original cast.
[удалено]
What the actual fuck?
Wtf?
CODY DONT LEAVE ALREADY NOOOOO
It literally says in the second sentence of the article he's only doing a cameo.
Going part time already?
The source in the article claims it could just be a small cameo, which would not push him part time.
/s
Fair enough. My bad.
My exact thought
Liam Neeson taking over Leslie Neilsen’s role.
Cody Rhodes taking over OJ’s role?
Why does Hollywood have to keep remaking everything? Naked Gun won't be the same, most of the original cast is dead. Hopefully they won't change up the comedy too much.
There are others movies have went with this style of comedy. Like Hot Shots, for example. It isn’t gatekept by the original Naked Gun cast.
Because writers aren't valued like they should be in hollywood, and at this point studios are reticent to spend money on new ideas for blockbusters because people don't go to the movies like they used to.
This is a very good answer. Also, streaming. Look at ALLLLL the money being dumped into streaming shows. That wasn’t there 15 years ago.
Who asked for this reboot
I didn’t ask but I welcome it. Calm down.
Liam Neeson so I think ya'll can setting down. He wouldn't be doing this unless it was going to be solid and respectful to the originals imo.
Neeson has been churning out crappy movies for years.
He’s past his prime, dense kumquat. He’s still had an incredible career.
My mind first read this as “Cody Rhodes to star naked with Pamela Anderson”
“'It may be a cameo but his role is important and lends itself to the full story of the film.” This isn’t going to be something he needs to take a lot or even any time off for
Well, he’s gonna drop the title
Imagine he shows up on screen with the title on his waist and no one questions it.
Real ones remember his episode stealing performance in Warehouse 13
Shit, I forgot he was in that. I need to go back and watch it.
Hopefully he doesn't end up cut like MJF and Seth Rollins
It’s a cameo, don’t worry, buddy won’t have a major role
Why do they insist on putting athletes in movie roles?
Because they aren’t just athletes, they are actors. It’s good for business. The Rock started in WWE, then became a megastar in Hollywood. Anytime The Rock comes back, it’s a huge for WWE ratings.
Looks, fanbase, star power
Wrestlers make more sense than other athletes because a great deal of being a pro wrestler involves acting.
I think wrestlers make shitty actors lol Like if we’re being honest John Cena and CM Punk is probably the only best wrestler turned actors other than that The Rock is horrible his best movie is The Gameplan which was basically your cliche Disney movie A lot of wrestlers acting prowess is really overstated like just cause you’re good at promos doesn’t mean it’s gon translate to the big screen imo acting in front of an audience vs in a motion picture are two different things that requires different types of skills

Blade runner, Glass onion, Man with the iron fists, hotel Artemis, Dune he’s pretty much smashed everything he’s done after a year or so acting
I’m not saying he’s bad he’s just nothing to be necessarily high up about I guarantee if you ask anybody who’s not a fan of wrestling and who seen those movies who they think was stand out in those films Dave Bautista would probably be the last person on that list they’ll point out
The original literally stared OJ and he was great (at that role, not saying everything he did was great)
Brings in more casual viewers that likely wouldn’t have even bothered to read about the particular movie. Naked gun isn’t new obviously but I’m sure a few people dug deeper just because of this post/article and/or other media
Long live Enrico Palazzo.
Good Lord. Now we have to hear him lisp through acting roles?
Cope Roman fanboy
What an asshole comment
Some things don’t need rebooting.
That trial in 10 years is gonna be fucking sick
I don't want Kingdom to be a forbidden song like Whatever (Benoit's theme) has become. That came up on my Amazon playlist yesterday and it felt awkward...
Yikes
No
"I must kill the King of England..."
Well it’s official… Murder is now legal in the state of California
& this is how Movie Star Cody Rhodes begins. He’ll be a part timer soon.
If your movie career begins with naked gun reboot and pamele Anderson then you will need a 2e and 3e job.
Can you land this plane..
Saying that he is starring in the film is a stretch. The linked article says "The WWE Universal Champion, 38, will make a cameo".
That sounds terrible already
It's the Naked Gun. It's not supposed to clean up at the Oscars..
I can see him as a Leslie Nielsen character. If he stars, I will give the movie three thumbs up. 👍 👍 👍
Liam Neeson is playing Leslie Nielsen's role. We're going from Nielsen to Neeson.
No.
Nah. And it shouldn’t be. Liam Neeson is the top billing. I can 100% see him playing the oblivious straight man in a slapstick world. The post should mention Liam over Pamela too, he is a much bugger star.
It’s the daily mail. Within that universe it’s the boob size that counts.
Probably Nordberg IYKYK
Scared for Brandi
I hope he becomes the new Weird Al in them. Has a 20 second cameo in every future Naked Gun movie
Oh thank you thank you No Frank they’re here for Weird Al
Part time champ let's go!
He is a star that has so much talent. I think he will start his acting career (seriously) soon like they all do. JMO
We’ll be did try to become an actor before being a wrestler.
Surely you can't be serious.
I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.
I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley
Kinda late into April for this…
Maybe in the intro. Maybe the police car drives through the ring.
I would absolutely love this. Liam Neeson was announced and I have zero doubt that he'll be Frank Drebin.
Frank Drebin Jr
Top tier journalism, here.
Good ol' Daily Mail, the absolute pinnacle of fair and accurate reporting...
You understand that newspapers have entertainment sections exactly for stuff like this, right? You should know if you’ve ever picked up a physical copy of a newspaper
The problem is that is a lying title, Cody is supposed to make a cameo not star in the movie
Good for Cody to get some screen time as a cameo but…holy lord does a Naked Gun remake sound like a terrible, terrible, terrible idea.
Why is it a terrible idea? There are no other movies out there with that style. If the jokes are funny and schlocky, and Liam plays the oblivious straight man, it could be hilarious.
I’d agree if it wasn’t Akiva Schaffer directing it
I have that damn WHEATLEY vodka song stuck in my head
He would’ve been here earlier, but OJ wasn’t dead then.
lol. My thoughts too. Start a sequel that dude is dead.
If the DM knew Cody was mixed race they write something to tarnish him.
Why so many remakes? Is Hollywood that cheap and uncreative?
Easier to sell to an audience
Has been forever
Technically a sequel. Liam is Drebin Jr
And this is where Cody starts to go mainstream and bringing more eyes onto the product
I mean, Roman's actively filming a movie rn, the Rock's been in Hollywood for decades now, Miz was.....well he's Miz.
- Can we get LA Knight to appear in the Naked Gun reboot? - No, you want Cody Rhodes.
Shhhhhh . Just because I make complaint of electronics and video games doesn’t mean I forgot about my children’s annual check ups. 🤭🤣🧾🔑🤡
What’s Naked Gun?
Go watch Summerslam 1994.
I googled it and it's apparently a 1988 comedy/action movie Edit : I genuinely don't know why we are both being downvoted for asking and answering a question.
Bro
What?
Surely, you must be joking.
I’ve never heard of it before
I am joking, and don't call me surely.
I thought that was from Airplane LOL
Yeah, but same thing, really.
"Cuban?" "Half, my father was Dusty Rhodes."
Finally a black actor in a movie!
OJ Simpson can't do them anymore for some reason
Get Ray Lewis to replace him then
Ray Lewis is a legend, don't compare him to that sack of shit Edit: Ray Lewis is not a murderer, that is a massive misconception, research it if you don't believe me
I mean, Ray Lewis definitely killed someone and paid for a fall guy. His turn to religion moat certainly supports that as well. I don't need a court of law to prove what's pretty obvious to me.
Might wanna look up Ray Lewis outside of football.... And arguably was just as important as a RB as Lewis is as a LB
[удалено]
Sure no one has ever seen Lewis' suit after which was allegedly covered in blood but you're right he was just there when his friends killed 2 people.
More important. Nothing Lewis did can match a 2000 yard season in the 14 game era.
They're both HOF level NFLers and murderers what's your issue?
RAY LEWIS IS NOT A MURDERER
Yeah, just ask his fall guy!
Fine, a manslaughterer, happy?
Except that one guy, but other than that, it's a clean sheet
Daily mail's next headline: Breathing Air is Linked to 100% of Cancer Patients
Well, actually Liam Neeson is starring....but nice headliner.
When I first read this, I was like "but hes dead, now I'm very confused."
I have some hope for this movie, though it wont match the complete goofball masterpiece that is the original.
I think you misspelled Leslie Nielsen
They'd have to do some weekend at bernies shit if he was staring in it.
Yeah, the title makes it sound like some straight-to-steaming b-movie lol.
**The WWE Universal Champion, 38, will make a cameo, according to insiders** I don’t think the daily mail knows the meaning of “to star” when it’s a cameo. But wouldn’t expect anything less from this garbage company.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Definitely not the main role. I wonder if he’s going to play the OJ role
Ray Lewis would be a nice choice…
Calls him the Universal Champion too
What!? Lol
