“Justice has a new Daddy!”
Liam Neeson stars in this 2025 reboot of The Naked Gun, which will release in theaters on August 1st. With a fresh 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, critics are praising the film as a hilarious return to the zany style of comedy that made the 1988 original a hit. While best known for intense action roles, Neeson fits well into the quirky humor with brilliant comedic timing. The movie doesn’t just aim to spoof the original film but gives a respectful nod to the late Leslie Nielsen’s iconic legacy.
“Only one man has the particular set of skills… to lead Police Squad and save the world! Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. (Liam Neeson) follows in his father’s footsteps in THE NAKED GUN, directed by Akiva Schaffer (Saturday Night Live, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping) and from producer Seth MacFarlane (Ted, Family Guy). Joining the case are Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu, with Danny Huston.”
