The original creators of it are, not pleased.

Zucker: Pat, Mike and I wrote a script for Naked Gun 4, and we heard Jon Gonda at Paramount had read the script and laughed all the way through it. But somewhere along the line, they decided not to go with Pat and Mike and me. So thatβs when they got Seth MacFarlane, and he has Akiva Schaffer directing Liam Neeson. I was never able to meet with Seth.
Proft: Iβm not happy β and thereβs a story with it. But Iβm not pleased. It may come out and may be great β and good for that β but I sure as fuck should be writing it. I should have done this one.
Zucker: About four years ago, Pat and I had one meeting over at Paramount with the then-head of production there. It was a woman who complained about some joke that Pat and I wrote about a police officer having to adjust her Kevlar vest or have a breast reduction or something. Itβs just a stupid, mild joke, but that was too much for them. So I canβt even imagine how theyβre limiting whoever does Naked Gun 4, if theyβre that frightened. Weβre not involved, and weβve repurposed what was going to be Naked Gun 4 β as we called it, Counterintelijence, spelled with one L and a J β and weβre going to go out with that one.
Proft: Weβve been totally blocked out of it. The unfortunate part of it is that Paramount owns it, so they can do what they fucking want. So thatβs it.
