David Zucker directed the original 1989 film and used one of the grossest internet videos from the 2000s to describe the Liam Neeson-led reboot.

"The Naked Gun" reboot took a vicious shot at former NFL running back O.J. Simpson in the movie trailer. See it for yourself.

In 1991, Leslie Nielsen’s Lt. Frank Drebin spoke of how he wanted to “live in a world where Frank Jr…” could do many things - some of which would never be repeated in modern comedy. So when the 2025 movie schedule became the home to Liam Neeson’s long-awaited spin on The Naked Gun, I never imagined that it was going to fulfill that very promise.

The Naked Gun is an upcoming film in the action comedy genre. Also titled The Naked Gun 4+¼: Law of Toughness, the film will be released by Paramount Pictures on August 1, 2025.

The teaser, which was released Thursday, features Liam Neeson thwarting a bank heist disguised as a little girl dressed in a plaid miniskirt and burgundy cardigan. After a bank robber confronts the child, Neeson's character pulls his mask off and proceeds to take the robbers down.

Liam Neeson stars as Frank Drebin, Jr. in "The Naked Gun" reboot, with a new trailer showcasing comedic action and familiar characters.

Oscar-nominated actor Liam Neeson is reprising the role of late acting and comedic legend Leslie Nielsen in the comedic franchise "Naked Gun."
