Zucker's Naked Gun Spy Spoof Script

0:00On April 29th, David Zucker, the guy who co-created the original naked gun movies, is keeping the flame alive for his own take on the franchise. Even after that recent reboot with Liam Neeson, he's talking up a shelve sequel script he wrote with Pat Proff and Mike McMannis. The script, called Counter Intelligence, got pitched a paramount, but they passed on it. Instead, the studio went another route that Zucker says didn't really land. Fans and creators have mixed feelings about the reboot strained from the classic cop spoof 5. Zucker feels it missed a mark, leaving room for fresh ideas like his. This version flips the script to a spy thriller spoof, pulling from stuff like Born, James Bond, and Mission Impossible. It centers on Frank Drevin's son, as the new lead, keeping the wild humor, but ditching the old cop routine. Word is, the story still got legs, so we might see Zucker's vision hit screens down the line if things line upright. That's the story for today.
