    I’m SUPER excited, but also VERY concerned. So I’ll be cautiously optimistic. But seeing the new Naked Gun with Liam Neeson, though a completely unrelated project, I’m hopeful that today’s Hollywood might actually be able to pull this off.

      Wait, was Naked Gun an actually good remake? I just assumed it wouldn’t be.

        I thought it was fantastic from beginning to end. Liam needing killed it. And it was, so, so stupid.

          They were so skilled with the background jokes, too.

          There’s at least one joke that can only be seen by watching with subtitles. That’s dedication.

        It wasn’t terrible, but still not as good as the original. I don’t think anyone can replace Leslie Nielsen.

          I agree with this, it was a Naked Gun movie and as a standalone product I enjoyed it quite a bit.

          It wasn’t Leslie Nielsen, but they do have the same initials so that’s good enough for me.

    He said himself he never retired. He stepped away for awhile to focus on his family after his wife died. He has also said in the past that acting offers just dried up. He hit pause, and the industry just moved on.

      That might be literally true, that people just stopped calling with offers. But I don’t believe for a second that if he showed up to a casting for some comedy, he wouldn’t be offered something on the spot.

        Like a small cameo, but probably not a major role?

          Even a major role.
          He’s Rick Moranis!
          If needs be, it would make sense to re-write the script for his return to movies!

            I appreciate your enthusiasm. But nobody born after 1998 even knows who he is.

      I was joking with my sister wondering if Mel would be coming back as Scroob, under the assumption that Scroob died in the first one that he’ll come back and someone will say:

      “Somehow… Scroob has returned.”

    Is it considered retirement if you are still occasionally working?

    I’ve been excitedly hearing about this over the past year and I’m so hyped it’s actually going to happen.

    This time, I agree with Hitler
