Will Liam Neeson Return For Another ‘Naked Gun’ Movie?

Since the first Naked Gunmovie had two sequels starring Leslie Nielsen, Liam Neeson was asked by Newsweekin an interview in August if he’d be interested in reprising Frank Drebin Jr.

Unfortunately for fans of The Naked Gunfranchise and Neeson’s new movie, it sounds like the Takenfranchise star is satisfied with what he’s accomplished with the film and is content to leave it at that.

“I think the film’s going to have a few giggles and a few laughs in it, and God, we all need that at the minute,” Neeson told Newsweek. “I think it’s probably a one-off. Not that the experience wasn’t great, it was. It’s terrific, working with Pamela, Danny Huston, all these terrific guys.”
