The first trailer for the reboot has been released, starring Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Leslie Nielsen's iconic character. The film also features Pamela Anderson as the femme fatale and love interest.
Key takeaways from the summary include:
- Tone and Humor: The trailer proves the film will maintain the classic deadpan, slapstick, and pun-filled humor of the original series. Neeson, despite his serious persona, is shown to be just as comically inept as his father.
- Highlighted Gags: The article points out several gags, such as Drebin's increasingly intense repetition of the line "I love it!", a disastrous lie detector scene, and a car chase with a tiny steering wheel.
- Strong Comedic Team: The film is directed by Akiva Schaffer (of The Lonely Island and director of Popstar) and produced by Seth MacFarlane, a creative team that inspires confidence in the project's comedic direction.
- Positive Reception: The author is very optimistic, stating the trailer "perfectly captures the spirit of the original films" and that Neeson is an excellent choice to blend serious delivery with absurd comedy.
The new Naked Gun is set to be released on July 18, 2025.
