Liam Neeson Becomes a Son of a Naked Gun
He will find you, and he will kill you with silliness.

Super serious guy Liam Neeson is returning to comedy again in the upcoming Naked Gun film, and thankfully, the silliest people in the biz are spearheading the reboot. Directed by the Lonely Island’s Akiva Schaffer, the movie follows the son of Lt. Frank Drebin (the late Leslie Nielsen) as he disguises himself as a school girl to kick some ass— all while wearing strawberry printed underwear. No, really, it’s in the trailer that premiered at CinemaCon on April 3. Described as “The single most important Naked Gun movie since the other Naked Gun movies, the clip introduces us to Frank Drebin “the new version” as he tries to live up to his father’s legacy. Junior kneels in front of a portrait of Frank Sr. in tears in what looks like a room of weaping nepotism hires. They quickly cut to a portrait of Det. Nordberg (O.J. Simpson) before panning to his disapproving son. Not every apple falls close to the tree.
While not featured in the teaser, the movie also stars Pamela Anderson and Paul Walter Hauser. A new Naked Gun reboot has been in the works for quite some time. In 2013, Ed Helms was signed on to play Frank Drebin (no relation). However, after some creative differences, the film eventually evolved with Seth MacFarlane attached to develop and produce. Rescue Rangers writers Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, plus Schaffer wrote the final script. So, we really meant it when we said this movie is about to be very, very goofy. As it should be!
