Liam Neeson for Paramount’s “Naked Gun” remake. Neeson is in talks to lead the film, Variety confirms. “Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers” director and Lonely Island member Akiva Schaffer will direct and executive produce the movie.

Schaffer wrote the script with “Chip ‘n Dale” scribes Dan Gregor and Doug Mand. MacFarlane and Erica Huggins are producing via their company Fuzzy Door.Earlier this year, Neeson sparked chatter online after telling “People (The TV Show)” that McFarlane and Paramount had been pursuing him to resurrect the “Naked Gun” films. “It’ll either finish my career or bring it in another direction.
