That's why David Zucker is in his career, and that's what he's still working on using the new teaching video network series Mainly donate,play Master Class. In episode 1 Mainly donateJuly, Zuckerairplane! Naked gun! The movie will teach the audience his 15 rules for imitation of writing. The motivation of the writer/director is not (only) money or fame, nor is it really related to teaching a new generation of comedy writers. At least to some extent it is about revenge.

“My manager tried to get into me about three years ago Master Class,” Zach told Hollywood Reporter. He was rejected. ((Master Class No requests for comment were responded. )

Now, Zach is used to refuse. His script with Pat Proft (Popular lenses!) for Naked Gun 4!their title Nude: Impossible!passed in order to give Akiva Schaffer (support Akiva Schaffer)Saturday Night Live,,,,, POPSTAR: Never Stop Never Stop) Shooted in the franchise. Zucker saw the trailer for the fuzzy door production (and Paramount Picture Distribution) version, and he wasn't a fan.

Zach told thrbut “it’s really very specific.”

Seth MacFarlane didn't ask for Zucker Naked gun - At least after the Zucker lock script. At that time, Zach said he was offered the credibility of an honorary producer (not quite different from McFarlane's). He passed by.

A spokesperson for Seth MacFarlane did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

New Naked gun Zach said the trailer alone "violated at least five of the 15 rules," first with "logical rules" and later a little girl was later discovered to be Liam Neeson of our new Frank Drebin.

15 Rules began in 1972, when Zuckers (David and his brother Jim) and Jim Abrams (deceased) first previewed their live sketch comedy show Kentucky Theatre On Pico Boulevard in West Los Angeles. A friend of Abrams from a university writer participated in an early performance. He liked it, but there was some feedback: "Never joke." It became their first rule and their first brush with structure.

Three people "One is very good instinct For comedy, Zach said, “but that’s more.”

Zach explained what "joking joke" means: If there is something stupid in the background of the scene, there will be no "no clowns" in the foreground.

In and Naked gun!after a tiny man rode a giant military bomb directly into a fireworks shop, Leslie Nielsen is the original Frank Drebin (Liam Neeson's father in the new story) Deadpans: "Nothing to see here, please disperse." Of course, the joke is that what's going on behind Drebin is actually the biggest wonder.

The scene is not only an example of “joking and joking,” but also why Zacks and Abrams want right-angle actors (such as Nelson, Robert Stark, Lloyd Bridges and Peter Graves) to play their comedy.

"They may be serious in the prospects, or just say interesting things seriously, like 'Don't call me Shirley,'" Zach said. "This invented this: this humorous style."

"They don't have to get it," Zach added. knew Better than others.

Nielsen did it, despite taking a minute, Zach recalls. After a not-so-great first table airplane! ("Leslie put some kind of spin on it"), Zach gave it to Nelson with VHS tape Zero hoursvery serious, very old movie airplane! Mainly based.

We said, “Leslie, look at this, play this role,” Zach recalls.

Nelson is a quick study. His role as a doctor is so straightforward that Zachs and Abrams make Nelson the leader Police squad! and Naked gun! Movie. He played Those ones Well, other directors started playing Nelson's comedy.

"They think, 'Oh, this guy is fun,'" Zach said. "It's a thin line. Yes, Leslie is fun, but he's really a great actor."

Stack is another joker, no joke. Bridges…not that many.

"Lloyd, he just thinks he has to act like he is in a comedy," Zach said.

"''Forget you're in the comedy. Your performance is no different from what you do Sea hunting"Or, you know, any of the dozens of characters he's done before," Zach recalls.

(We can get two rules for free, free. Mainly donate Although the price and specific release time are TBD, it will be a paid course. )

Like: "Jerry Lewis", "The Shorthand" is another rule for them. It supports what we say: Zach won't throw away the natural fun people like Lewis, Adam Sandler (his role model) or Chevy Chase. It's a compliment to those comic actors - just that just happens to complement Zach's style.

"All comedy has to come from the director and script behind the camera," Zach said. "Of course, we worked very hard on the script, we drafted it after the talent show - the actors just have to play it directly."

Then there is “Never cut the reaction.” Listen to directors, camera operators, editors and even position scouts.

"The reaction is great, but you don't want to cut them down," Zach said. "It diluted the joke 50%.

Example: Naked gun!George Kennedy serves as Nielsen's police captain report on the status of OJ Simpson's detective Nordberg. Nordberg is in trouble throughout the film.

"The doctor gave Nordberg a 50/50 chance of living, but only 10% chance," Captain Ed Hocken (Kennedy) said in the movie.

"You see Leslie in the background - he reacted," Zach said. "But to cut that down (will ruin the joke).

Kennedy and Nielsen later returned to the same situation when the movie's big bad guy, Ricardo Montalban, met his fate. Ludwig darted around his neck, fell into concrete, was knocked down by a bus, then flattened by a steam roller, and finally trampled by a USC parade band.

Looking at Kennedy’s emotional excitement from above, he said to Drebin, “My father left the same way.”

"Leslie is next to him and he looks at him," Zach said.

The perfect ending of the perfect deception movie - now you know how they do it.

"It's not like our natural genius. We work on it, we develop it. We learn it from ourselves, we teach ourselves, we traverse everyone in the course," Zach said.
