WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is linked to the Naked Gun reboot starring Liam Neeson. The Daily Mail reports that Rhodes will make a cameo appearance as himself in the film. Read more at Dailymail.co.uk.
Powell’s POV: Cody went to acting school and had a recurring role on the Arrow television show. While the role is listed as a cameo, it’s also described as “important” in the report. There’s no word as to how long Rhodes would be away from WWE while filming, nor has Cody or WWE confirmed the report as of this update.
I love the “Naked Gun” movies as much as the next guy, but they’re officially out of ideas in Hollywood. Time to shut it down.
I suspect there are still plenty of good ideas pitched, but the executives play it safe by going with recycled material. I think they take more chances with streaming series, which I find myself watching more than movies these days.
Liam Neeson as Frank Dreben would be worth a watch.
