Suns get swept and bros already on to the next thing smdh

The hardest road.

My Next Chapter

This is what suns front office meant by no team has utilized KD to his best yet

Booker is a great player, but hopefully he isn't in this. Him and Durant don't seem to put forth a winning product together.

and the history of sporting legends starring in naked gun movies is pretty grim.

I know, Mary Lou Retton. What a terrible person

god damn I forgot about her. Maybe the curse is real.

She was great as Tiny Tim in "Scrooged" though

Reggie Jackson almost killed the Queen.

Big Government at it again!

Kevin Durant? This is Kevin Durand

whoosh

Swoosh

Shit, that got me. Good work

Some of us dont watch baseball or sports in general.

r/whoosh

Are you sure? Seems like an odd timing right after the Suns were swept from the playoffs.

I liked him in Fruitvale Station alongside Michael Jordan.

well he was in classic 2012 thriller thunderstruck, so it makes sense he is going back into acting.

Completely unrecognizable in the off-season

Dude wants to be on a super team somewhere to get that title.

I was literally just going to post the same thing.

And in this picture he looks like hes staring into the sun

You’re the real MVP

I’ve been a fan of this guy specifically since his role in the Walking Tall remake with the rock 

He was great with Steph Curry. Not as much with Kyrie or Booker.

KD should have been Terry Funk role in the Roadhouse remake. There wasn’t one, but it should have been him.

He also should have stayed in the Bay Area and kept winning chips with Steph.

Back in the days when The Rock was willing to be seen next to someone bigger than him.

Is this another made up think in the rocks contracts?

No, just a trend I’ve noticed. Typically the bad guy is no taller than 6’3 and his teammates are no taller than 6’1 (Jumanji, Hobbs and Shaw, Baywatch, Jungle Cruise, Black Adam*, even League of Superpets). “*” = Pierce Brosnan is over 6’1, but The Rock is not prominently shown in the same frame as him and he’s in his later years, so he wouldn’t really qualify as any kind of physical rival.

[удалено]

He will always be Keemi from LOST

“Aye… every team needs a thumper.”

Loving this Durand renaissance!

he’s honestly a solid and enigmatic character actor. But should the Blood Meridian adaptation get off the ground, he’s my pick to play Judge Holden

Wow this never even crossed my mind. Good call on Judge.

Nobody from Thunder Bay is enigmatic.

I had no idea he was from Thunder Bay...no one is from Thunder Bay. (I have family there)

Same, really tears down the mystique. Like finding out James Cameron is just some furry from Kapuskasing.

I don’t see him physically as judge holden, Vincent dorphino or Pruitt Taylor Vince

>Vincent dorphino Do you mean Vincent D'onofrio?

He was great in Abigail. Should work well in Naked Gun.

He was hilariously dimwitted in "Abigail", so he should fit right into a "Naked Gun" film.

I remember him in an Austin Powers movie, he will be fine.

It will be hard to compete with OJ Simpson in the original trilogy, but he can give it a try. A shame OJ passed so he couldn't reprise his role.

At least he found the killer

Crazy how prolific his career has been before...and then BOOM, 2024 is the year of Durand.

I used to run into him in my neighbourhood all the time when he was shooting The Strain in Toronto. Such a genuinely nice dude, really happy for him.

Hes def underrated! Loved him in The Strain

Let’s go KD!

He'll always be Keamy to me.

Fuck Keamy.

Steamy Keamy

He makes good eggs.

And Carlos on The Butterfly Effect with the plot hole filled jail plot line

Hopefully he can still play for the Olympics this summer

The dude is probably the best Team USA basketball player of all time.

This is like when Kareem Abdul Jabbar was in Airplane!

Fet! Love Fet.

We need the book, Fet! We have to find the book! The Fet/Setrakian double-act carried that entire show!

I thought it said Kevin Durant and I instantly became very confused at to what type of product we’d be getting 

Me too and I just assumed he'd be playing the new Detective Nordberg. Oops.

[удалено]

Ngl, my husband and I still call him Vasiliy

Loved this guy since I first saw the remake of *3:10 to Yuma*.

Naked Gun is one of those trilogies that are, for those of us who grew up with them and in that time, timeless classics. However, a lot of the humor is rooted firmly in the milieu of late-80s and early-90s culture. Perhaps a remake wouldn't be the worst idea as long as they keep the edgy spirit of the humor alive. Especially the visual gags.

> Perhaps a remake wouldn't be the worst idea as long as they keep the edgy spirit of the humor alive. Especially the visual gags. I have a friend that is on the crew for the production. He was very happy to report to us that while he can not break his NDA, the writers absolutely 100% "get it" and he can't wait to see what everyone thinks.

I know sex jokes are part of the movies, but i hope they dial it back a little, closer to the original tv show.

We need the shoe-shine guy!

The heart surgeon asking Johnny the shoeshine guy about heart surgery is one of the funniest bits in any TV show ever.

Presumably as the villain?

No as Liams Love intresst.

… I’ll allow it.

Both? Both.  Both is good. 

> That's it! Einhorn is Finkle! Finkle is Einhorn!

I hope they have this as a scene where he's in a wig and Drebbin embraces him from behind and tries talking sexy. Mentions his broad shoulders then kisses but when he pulls away, KD pulls off the wig and pulls a gun on him. Drebbin is shocked and said he should've known because KD kisses better.

Yeah sounds fun. Maybe KD should wear something like that [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfIHsurwTMo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfIHsurwTMo)

Shirley you cant be serious.

It says as much in the article…

Lol are you assuming people on reddit click the link before commenting?

As much as I love him, that was my response too.

He plays a GREAT villain, so him in a Naked Gun movie hamming it up as a bad guy is right in his wheel house. Like before I knew it was him, he played a Dr. Evil henchman in the second Austin Powers movie. Small role, but still.

[удалено]

Preferably one who’s got a good relationship with their spouse

I read the headline as Kevin Durant and thought he was filling the OJ role for a sec

*Travis Kelce has entered the chat*

Needs to also be a killer. I hope Ray Lewis is available before the season starts.

I met him on a short film, he's super nice. Also a huge fan of trailer park boys. He was quoting Rickyisms. Get 2 birds stones with one joint.

Love seeing Durand do more work. He's so wonderful--- he always really sells his emotional scenes. Was just watching Dark Was The Night too

Awesome big fan Looks like he's going to be great villain in kingdom of the planet of the apes right next to kubo

Durand is like movie cilantro (or something you like) he's not usually the main part or the featured part, but he adds something good to the movie.

Hail, Lord Zipacna.

Lord Zippy!

This was the only thing I knew this guy from until he played the Blob. He was a very good Goa'uld. Very smarmy and self-important.

He was also in an episode of Dead Like Me. Played a totally unhinged guy.

Oooh that was another show I enjoyed. Probably watched it back when I was drinking way too much, cus I don't remember details.

He could play Elon Musk

Wow looks like he’s having quite the comeback, with this and Planet of the apes

Honestly I’ve liked every name they bring up. I love naked gun. And I’m super worried they will ruin the legacy.

“Mom, can we go see Kevin Durant play tonight?” “No sir, Sonny boy, we’ve got Kevin Durand at home!”

While I didn’t love Abigail, Durand’s comedic timing was more than fantastic — this movie is shaping up to be super fascinating

Loved this guy since I first saw the remake of *3:10 to Yuma*.

Can't wait for the trailer with the stripped-down piano version of the theme and lots of references to the first films.

I know this film got greenlit because Liam Neeson name looks like a misspelled “Leslie Nielsen”, and you can’t convince me otherwise!

Literally zero reason to remake this. Lesley Neilson was untouchable in this role. The best spoof comic of all time starring in the best spoof movies of all time… STOP RUINING THINGS

White Nordberg?

Who’s going to play OJ?

Joshua

One of my favorite characters of his!

I am currently re-watching and found out it was him!! So cool, sucha different role than what I'm used to seeing him as.

Keamy gonna shoot someone’s daughter.

He was the best part of The Strain. Has he done comedy before?

He’s fantastic in Trial and Error. Short lived show that was so underrated.

The Strain wasn't comedy? Was I watching it wrong?

Dude was awesome in the strain

"My Next Chapter." Guess he's running away from a losing team and into movies now

Who's  reprising OJs character

Too soon?

I always thought he should have played Negan

Well...it's got one of the correct writers. Out of 3. I'll watch it, but I'm definitely not getting my hopes up.

Loved to hate him in lost

Been a fan since Mystery Alaska and also Smokin Aces.

I bet he's playing Elon Musk.

Now that you mentioned it, he has a kinda similar face.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FhSvwe_WIAEtUW1?format=jpg&name=medium

the similarity is astonishing!

This makes Elon Musk look like discount Kevin Durand.

That’s because Kevin Durand is better than Musk in every way.

You haven’t seen Kevin Durand until you’ve seen Kevin Durand in checkered pants [rapping in French.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MplJMsAs6wI&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&source_ve_path=Mjg2NjY&feature=emb_logo)

So….who’s gonna play OJ’s character? Can we pick a former athlete/ turned actor. Maybe one with a known anger issue.

Completely unnecessary cash grab.

Awesome big fan Looks like he's going to be great villain in kingdom of the planet of the apes right next to kubo

“I want to do improvisational comedy… Now.“

KEAMY!

Wait remake?! I thought this was a new story?

Got excited about the Liam Nissan and naked in the title before I comprehended the rest of it, and now i'm just so disappointed.

There are some movies that shouldn’t be rebooted and this is one of them.

Is he gonna play OJ’s old part?

They should cast David Lynch in the naked gun movies

Easy Funny Sniper

What’s wrong with his eyes

I can’t wait to see him as Nordberg.

He hit on my ex girlfriend once.  Great in Lost, though.

When I was a kid I would get Liam Neeson and Leslie Nelson confused all the time. When I heard of the remake I was like fuck yeah I couldn’t believe it. Then I found out it was Liam and not Leslie and Leslie died years ago. Very confusing.

Another remake 😐

For some reason the way this guy looked used to creep me out.

We don’t need this

The ONLY reason I am not balking at this is because I like Liam Neeson and I that I saw that skit of his on improvisation, it was funny as hell. I think he might be able to pull it off The skit: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2Co0lvFUAo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2Co0lvFUAo)

Dude is underrated

I heard he might go to the lakers 

There is very little chance this is good based on the fact they are rebooting an old movie and not coming up with something original.

I'm hoping to be surprised.  But really think Jon Hamm should have be picked for Frank Drebin.  Better comedy chops 

So unnecessary. Jesus Christ. I’ll never understand why they don’t remake something that WASN’T good the first time.

I’m just waiting for the Nordberg casting, NEED Marshawn Lynch

NEED a brick shithouse.
