Alrighty folks, Harry here... I lied... I haven't gone to sleep yet, but the light is beginning to make me smolder... so I better hurry this up. It looks as if the 4th NAKED GUN film is in all practical ways... completely dead. And... Ya know... Good. Unless they did something incredibly in keeping and daring like bring in OJ and have him be accused of some crime that Frank has to unframe him from... Only to find he really did it... or something that would force everyone to go see it on account of how NAUGHTY it'd be... But even then... I still wouldn't really want to go. I think that style of comedy has run it's course for the time being. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. Here's the intoxicatingly beautiful, Sheila, Queen of the Hollywood Jungle to... reveal all...
Harry,
Sheila, Queen of the Hollywood Jungle here again reporting from my tree house high atop Sunset. You may recall that I recently passed along information regarding Paramount's plans to reload their Naked Gun franchise. At the time it seemed that the 4th movie was on a preverbal fast track with most of the cast (sans O.J.), and original writers on board. Sadly, recent events appears now to have doomed the project.
While not officially dead deal, it looks like all involved have suddenly lost the will to go forward. Can't really go into much detail for fear of exposing myself (something I reserve for late nights on Hollywood Blvd.) but the main obstructions to the film going into production come from certain individuals in the Paramount Studios high command who were inserting too many fingers into the creative pie.
If I were a betting woman, I'd say the odds were 50:1 that a new Naked Gun will ever make it out of the holster.
