Last month we reported that Paramount Pictures had
signed Ed Helms as the lead actor in their reboot of the popular comedy
franchise, The Naked Gun. Today CO had a chance to talk with the co-writer of
the project, Ben Garant and discovered that the project isn’t a remake but a
sequel.
"Right now we're calling it 'Episode IV – A New
Hope,'" Garant says. "That will change, but that's the working
title... Our take is that Ed Helms is Frank Drebin, no relation. That's how he
introduces himself."
It seems that the new Naked Gun will share some what
was done in previous remakes of older movies or tv shows (Star Trek or Shaft),
which is, there won’t be any relation between the new film and what came
before.
"We are trying to reinvent the world," he
says, "because that world was very 'Dragnet,' but we're trying to fit in
100 jokes a page... It's going to be a lot of fun. We’re very much embracing
the style."
