NAKED GUN director doesn’t want to see reboot

NAKED GUN director David Zucker originally didn’t like being left out of the 2025 reboot, but after the new film scored both good reviews and success at the box-office, he seems to be warming up to the project. Zucker, who directed the first two NAKED GUN movies, tells The Hollywood Reporter, “People are liking it, which is great,” he said. “I really like the director, and I just couldn’t wish him more well. I texted him already, saying, ‘I hear the reviews are great, and it’s tracking well.’ He was very happy to hear from me, and we’ll probably get together later in the month when the smoke clears.” He continued: “I’m excited about it because it just shows that there’s a strong market for comedy in movie theatres, and spoof in particular.” The filmmaker says he still has no plans to see the movie. “I’m not gonna see it, but I don’t see any of the sequels that were of my material done by other people, and that’s fine. I’ve told Akiva that I have no intention to see it,” he said. “He actually invited me to come see an early cut of it, but I told him there’s nothing I could do to help because it really isn’t what I would have done. That’s not to say that he didn’t actually end up doing a good movie. But I don’t think I could help with that.”
