Liam Neeson, the star of Taken, is ready to make a comeback to the big screen with an exciting, humorous movie.
The Naked Gun Movie Release Date
The Naked Gun reboot movie will hit theaters on August 1, 2025.
Storyline
Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen), a rather clueless police detective, tries to foil a plot to turn innocent people into assassins through mind control. After his partner, Norberg (O.J. Simpson), is shot, Frank sets out to find the culprit, leading him to business tycoon Vincent Ludwig (Ricardo Montalban). However, Frank has no evidence until he meets Jane Spencer (Priscilla Presley), Ludwig’s assistant. She knows nothing about Ludwig’s devious plans, but falls for Frank and agrees to help him.
Producer
The comedy, which was produced by Erica Huggins and Seth MacFarlane, is directed by Akiva Schaffer. Neeson continues Nielsen’s legacy as the head of the film franchise, which began with the initial release in 1988.
Script Writer and Director
Schaffer co-wrote the new film’s script with Dan Gregor and Doug Mand. Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, the director’s Emmy-winning Disney+ film, was previously written by the two scribes.
Cast
Paul Walter Hauser, Kevin Durand, Danny Huston, Liza Koshy, Cody Runnels, and CCH Pounder complete the ensemble.
Liam Neeson Leads as Frank Drebin Jr
In the comedy, Liam Neeson plays Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Police Squad icon Frank Drebin, who was first portrayed by the late Leslie Nielsen in the series.
