As a movie enthusiast, it’s been over two decades since we last saw a new installment of the hilarious “Naked Gun” series, which featured O.J. Simpson in his final role before his 1994 arrest. This franchise, starring the legendary Leslie Nielsen as Detective Frank Drebin, originally sprang from “Police Squad!”, a quirky sitcom filled with absurd humor and zany antics. The “Naked Gun” films were renowned for their over-the-top silliness and have since become YouTube staples in the form of joke montages. With nostalgia for this classic franchise running high, it’s no surprise that a reboot has been announced, directed by Akiva Schaffer and starring Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr. Set to hit theaters on August 1, 2025, the early buzz is promising, with audiences already laughing out loud at the jokes during a recent teaser screening of “The Phoenician Scheme” in New York City.

The duo of Neeson and Schaffer seem like a flawless match for “The Naked Gun”. Despite being underrated, Neeson has a knack for keeping a straight face when saying the most ridiculous things imaginable. Schaffer, meanwhile, is renowned for creating some of the funniest comedy from the last two decades, and is associated with “The Naked Gun”. He’s worked on projects like “MacGruber”, “Hot Rod”, “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping”, and Tim Robinson’s “I Think You Should Leave”. The new trailer also reveals Paul Walter Hauser as Ed Hocken Jr., a recurring theme in the movie is that all the new detectives are sons of the original ones, including the unfortunate son of O.J. Simpson’s Detective Nordberg. Pamela Anderson appears as Beth, the film’s new villain or damsel in distress. She delivers the best joke in the trailer by being invited to sit and then literally leaving the room while dragging a chair behind her. With “The Naked Gun”, “Friendship”, and “One of Them Days”, it looks like this year will be filled with good comedies, which is great since we could all use a laugh. Unlike some movies that load their best jokes into the trailer, “The Naked Gun” suggests that the best is still to come.
