Paramount Pictures has pulled back the curtain on The Naked Gun (2025), offering a hilarious behind-the-scenes featurette that teases what could be one of the boldest comedy reboots in recent years.
Directed by SNL veteran Akiva Schaffer and produced by Ted and Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, the film stars Liam Neeson as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., son of the legendary bumbling detective originally portrayed by Leslie Nielsen. The behind-the-scenes footage offers a glimpse into Neeson’s unexpected comedic chops as he leads a star-studded ensemble through a slapstick-laden revival of the beloved Police Squad legacy.

Joining the fun are Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Liza Koshy, Cody Rhodes, Eddie Yu, and Danny Huston—each bringing their own brand of absurdity to the mayhem.
Set to release on August 1, 2025, The Naked Gun is not only a reboot but a bold reinvention, blending physical comedy, absurd detectiveb tropes, and pop culture parody in classic Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker spirit—with a 21st-century twist.
