Every time Hollywood decides to reboot, a kitten dies.
Please, someone think of the kittens!

You'd still need a good Drebin although I can see Elba pulling off the Nordberg role.Idris Elba for Nordberg, he can play the smart straight guy cop who keeps having strange occurrences happen to him when he is around the absent minded Frank Drebin.

Josh Brolin would've fit better than Ed Helms, I think.
I'd go with the other LN - Liam Neeson.I was just trying to think of a non-comedian for the role.
That and the movies or events they're spoofing (often terribly) are movies that might not be relevant only a few years later. Some of them require you to have been alive and aware of the events at the time they're released.I watched the original the other night and it's still fantastic. There's only a couple of references to the time period in which it was film, other than that it stands up to this day. The issue with most parody movies these days is they are very much about what's hip at the time, stuff which gets forgotten soon after.

One person in an online post about the NG reboot suggested Steve Carell and I think he would be awesome as Frank more so than Ed or Liam
Rebooting would be an awful idea, it is a product of its time with actors who can’t be replaced. Also I feel the world is too serious and politically correct nowadays for this kind of movie unfortunately, you can’t help but offend someone in some way.
