Despite writing a script for the fourth Naked Gun installment, both of them admitted that Paramount decided to go in a different direction and they were no longer involved with the film.

“It may come out and may be great — and good for that — but I…should have done this one…We’ve been totally blocked out of it,” Proft stated.
