Yahoo Movies sat down with David Zucker, one of the creators about the new Ed Helms version... it doesn't sound very promising
I have no involvement in it. They own it and they wanted to do it with Ed Helms and two writers. It won’t be like the Naked Gun
that I did. It may be good, but it won’t be that kind of movie. They’re
going to use the title. They asked me if I wanted to produce. They’re
nice people, but they don’t want to do that style of spoof that I do. I
would want somebody who had never been in an comedy. Ed Helms is very
well known for three of the biggest comedies ever. I understand why
Paramount is doing what they’re doing. If my name was on it, I would be
making all sorts of suggestions and trying to change it, and it would be
frustrating. -Zucker
