It's landing in cinemas next month!
Paramount has dropped a new trailer for the upcoming ‘Naked Gun’ reboot.
The 1988 original, “The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!”, starred Leslie Nielsen.
Now, Liam Neeson is stepping into Nielsen’s shoes as Frank Drebin.
Alongside him in the cast will be Paul Walter Hauser, Danny Huston, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, and Busta Rhymes.
Akiva Schaffer (“Popstar,” “Hot Rod”) is directing, with Dan Gregor and Doug Mand on the script. That trio last collaborated on 2022’s “Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers.”
At a test screening for 'The Naked Gun' last Autumn, viewers called it “perfectly in tone” with the original.
However, not everyone is equally excited for the 2025 take on it.
David Zucker — one of the original ‘Naked Gun’ creators — recently said he was blindsided by Paramount’s decision to pass the franchise to a new team and doesn’t believe this kind of comedy can be easily duplicated. “Don’t try this at home,” he warned.
'The Naked Gun' will be released in cinemas on the 18th of July.
