Moviehole (http://www.moviehole.net) recently talked to Leslie Nielsen, who revealed that doing a "Naked Gun 4" may be difficult...without O.J.

Q.David mentioned that there might be a fourth Naked Gun if they can persuade the humourless folks at Paramount to do it. Would you want to do it?

A.I'd keep my fingers crossed. I would do it, are you kidding? I mean, it's a special kind of humour and the essence of the humour is that they never try to tell the audience what's funny. But without ---

Q.O.J.?

A. O.J. Well, it never crossed my mind that that would have made any difference, not to say that he wasn't very heavy support for the film; he was a very big athlete and a big star. Very enthusiastic and very easy and wonderful to work with. But it may be that that coloured part of their consideration in choosing to not give it a run, but people have come in even after and wanted to buy the property. Paramount could have sold the property, but it's in the archives, and you don't sell things if you're not going to use them yourself, because if they get sold and then become big hits, or big money maker, then somebody is responsible.
