The actress, a sex symbol of the '90s, will be the romantic interest of Detective Frank Drebin, popularized by Leslie Nielsen and now played by Neeson. The original film, written and directed by Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker, parodied crime show and movie clichés that had been ingrained in the audience's minds for decades.
Pamela Anderson will play the love interest, similar to the role played in the original by Priscilla Presley, with a mix of sensuality and silliness. Akiva Schaffer will direct the comedy, which has a script by Dan Gregor, Doug Mand, and Schaffer. The movie will be released on July 18, 2025, according to Paramount Pictures' release date of July 17, 2025.
