The Naked Gun is back, and it's aiming straight for the screens with its latest trailer finally being out. After years of fans waiting and wondering, the reboot's trailer gives a clear peek into what's coming.
From a new lead to outrageous jokes, the trailer confirms this reboot isn't just a nod to the past, but rather it's also bringing the madness into the present.
So, what's the reboot about, and who's in? Let's break it all down with everything we know!
Liam Neeson leads a chaotic legacy with a new cast and wild humor
The Naked Gun is returning with Liam Neeson playing Frank Drebin Jr., the son of the original's hilariously clueless detective. In this reboot, Neeson carries forward the previously seen blend of action and absurdity that made the franchise a classic in the first place.
The film will have its release on August 1, 2025.
The trailer shows him taking the reins of Police Squad in a world still full of explosive moments and eyebrow-raising one-liners.
Akiva Schaffer, known for bringing in odd comedy with high-energy direction, takes the direction for this version of the film, supported by writers Dan Gregor and Doug Mand.
Together, they've brought in a cast packed with big personalities. Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Kevin Durand, Danny Huston, and even Busta Rhymes join Neeson in this unpredictable ride.
The Naked Gun Reboot Trailer confirms wild comedy returns, and it’s as over-the-top as ever
The new trailer for The Naked Gun doesn't hold back on bringing on some chaos. Whether it's a lollipop turning into a weapon during a bank robbery or Neeson interrogating a man about "man's laughter," the film seems positive to revive the franchise's absurdism.
A quick tease of steamy scenes between Neeson and Anderson's character shows the film isn't afraid to dance between playful and completely ridiculous.
The trailer alone paints a vivid picture. There's a lot of action, innuendos, and humorous moments being put together by Liam Neeson's perfectly serious delivery. His portrayal echoes him to be dim, dedicated, and entirely unaware of the madness around him.
This approach keeps the spirit of the original intact while letting new characters, like those related to Ed Hocken and Nordberg, add fresh fuel to the fire.
With CinemaCon audiences already reacting positively to early footage, it looks like The Naked Gun may pull off the rare trick of pleasing longtime fans while catching a new generation off guard and in the best way.
Whether it's through double-meaning jokes, slapstick comedy, or just plain and silly wordplay, the tone is already set: this reboot is ready to land punchlines with all its might and force.
The Naked Gun reboot seems set to carry forward the franchise's legacy of wild gags and unforgettable moments. With Liam Neeson stepping in, a strong cast behind him, and a trailer full of laughs, the film promises a bold return.
Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the chaos, this one's ready to deliver the goods.
