LOS ANGELS, CALIFORNIA: Pamela Anderson is gearing up to bring her star power to the iconic 'Naked Gun' franchise, opposite Liam Neeson.

The beloved 'Baywatch' actress, 56, is set to portray the love interest in the reboot of the classic police comedy series, according to insider sources.

Pamela Anderson to star opposite Liam Neeson in 'Naked Gun' reboot

The news, initially reported by Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter, has sparked excitement among fans of the original trilogy, which starred Leslie Nielsen as the bumbling Lieutenant Frank Drebin, and Priscilla Presley as the romantic interest.

The upcoming reboot, based on the TV series 'Police Squad!' is slated for a July 2025 release, with Akiva Schaffer ('Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping') at the helm as director. Paramount Pictures has been behind the project from the start, aiming to breathe new life into the beloved franchise.

In a recent interview with ComingSoon.net, Neeson, 71, expressed a mix of nerves and enthusiasm about stepping into the comedic shoes of 'The Naked Gun.' Known for his roles in serious dramas like 'Schindler's List' and action-packed thrillers like 'Taken,' Neeson sees this project as a refreshing departure.

He praised the script for its humor and the talent of co-writer and director Akiva Schafer, known for his work on 'SNL.'

While Neeson prepares to tackle the comedic challenges of the reboot, Anderson's involvement adds a touch of nostalgia for fans. Having previously appeared alongside Nielsen in parody films like 'Superhero Movie' and 'Scary Movie 3,' Anderson brings her brand of charisma to the table.

For Anderson, the 'Naked Gun' reboot marks a significant return to the spotlight in the world of film. Following her Broadway debut in 'Chicago' in 2022, Anderson is set to captivate audiences once again with her upcoming role in Gia Coppola's 'The Last Showgirl,' alongside Jamie Lee Curtis and Dave Bautista.
