Post-The Naked Gun, Leslie Nielsen appeared in film parodies to diminishing returns. But reviving The Naked Gun with the same initialed Liam Neeson? The magic might just be back. With Seth MacFarlane and Akiva Schaffer joining forces, the humor has hopefully been updated and refreshed. Your mileage with this trailer may vary, but I liked it. While I’m sure The Naked Gun/Police Squad continuity is loose, I love that this movie is somehow acknowledging the previous ones.
From Paramount:
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 cast Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu, with Danny Huston.
