Du kender måske ikke navnet David Zucker, men du kender hans arbejde. Sammen med sin bror Jerry og den afdøde Jim Abrahams stod han bag nogle af komediegenrens mest ikoniske parodifilm. The Naked Gun, Top Secret!, Scary Movie 3 og 4 - de har alle haft Zuckers fingeraftryk.
I et interview med Woman's World om den nye Naked Gun-film var Zucker dog ikke ligefrem begejstret. "My brother, Jerry, and our partner, Jim Abrahams, started doing spoof comedies 50 years ago, and we originated our own style—and we did that so well that it looks easy, evidently. People started copying it, like [producer] Seth MacFarlane for the new Naked Gun. He totally missed it," sagde han.
Man kunne måske forvente, at et reboot låner lidt fra originalen, men Zucker mener, at hovedproblemet ligger i The Naked Gun (2025)'s budget. "You shouldn't spend too much money on comedies, and one of our rules is about technical pizzazz. Big budgets and comedy are opposites, and in the new Naked Gun, you could see that they spent a lot of money on scenes full of technical pizzazz while trying to copy our style," tilføjede han. "Everyone's in it for the money now."
Hvad syntes du om The Naked Gun-rebootet?
