Neeson remembers having immediately loved the idea of ​​playing in a Naked pistol restart. “Not because I think I’m funny – far from it – but I really enjoyed these films Leslie Nielsen.”

He describes these films as “a big laugh at the end of the 80s, very early in the 90s”, in particular for a “difficult period” of his life at the time, while living in London.

“He’s really an idiotic guy,” Pamela Anderson told her Costar’s Ew a few weeks after the cover of the blanket, laughing. “He sometimes acts like a silly little boy.”

Fill large shoes

“Liam Neeson is probably the only actor living in the 21st century who could do what Leslie Nielsen did, in large part because this kind of actor is no longer something that we really generate in Hollywood,” said producer Seth MacFarlane, affirming his star to Robert Mitchum, Gregory Peck and Charlton Heston. “”[He’s] Larger than the lifespan on the screen and yet so honest, two things that are not always mesh, but it is really capable of being this kind of power on the camera. “”

Blurred

After a handful of auditions (something that Anderson has never done, as far as she can remember) and Zoom with Schaffer, the recent Last showgirl Star won the role. (Schaffer says that this has summed up “two or three others at the end.”) But she also attributes her chemistry to Neeson.

“I wanted to bring to the character a certain vulnerability and sincerity. It is really easy to play well above, and it is good to have a certain land when there is this comedy. It was therefore a challenge,” said Anderson. “You have to somehow jump from the deep end together. We are going to be silly, but you must also remain a real character. So it’s a dance.”

An A-Peel-Ing Restart

“The environment in which we live, I think, certainly helps,” says MacFarlane about the positive response to the film’s trailer. “It’s been a long time that a very publicized hard comedy has not been published,” he adds. “It’s a real comedy, with a whole bunch of laughter. And I think it’s something that is a little rare right now. And I hope that if the film is doing well, it brings back a little more of these types of films in our shared landscape.”

Perfect association

“She kissed and embodied stupidity, quirk and intensity – and a little sad quality in her too, which was adorable,” says Neeson about Anderson’s vision on her character, Beth. “She has this passion and this sense of innate humor … and very easy for the eyes too.”

Anderson admits that she had to face the nerves to work with her legendary Costar, that she was “terrified” to meet. However, he crushed his fears on their first day of rehearsal.

“It’s like walking on stage, the butterflies you get. Once you are on stage, you feel safe and you feel free,” she said. “But it is the anticipation of meeting someone, isn’t it? This is the most difficult part.”

Cautious

“Throughout the shooting – I am very honest – I still did not know, when we wrapped ourselves at the end of each working day, that it worked for me,” admits Neeson. “Pamela, Paul, Danny, everyone, I thought, was very funny. I just couldn’t put a verdict on my own performance. I would always ask Akiva:” Are you sure it works? “It continued from the first day to the end.”

Baewatch

“I think I have a friend forever in Liam, and we have definitely a link that is very sincere, very loving, and he is a good guy,” says Anderson, adding his admiration for his work. “He is a real artist. He comes from the theater and Schindler list And made more than a hundred films. And I did things inside and back, I came from television, then my personal life somehow overshadow my professional life. It’s funny: we all come there in different ways, but being able to share this experience with him is very significant and such an honor. “”
