9 Upcoming Movie Reboots That Are Doomed To Fail
6. The Naked Gun
The smell of fear was unbearable when reports emerged that a Naked Gun reboot is on the cards with Ed Helms in the lead role.
We were promised that Naked Gun 33 1/3 was the final insult, but bringing the series back without the later, great Leslie Neilsen is the biggest of them all.
Anyone who saw the Helms-fronted Vacation reboot will be concerned by the prospect of him as Detective Frank Drebin - surely he can't tarnish two classic series?
Night at the Museum screenwriters Thomas Lennon and R. Ben Garant are said to be penning the screenplay for the Naked Gun reboot, which could only be more offensive if they busted OJ Simpson out of prison so he could reprise his role.
