Paramount Pictures has dropped the first official trailer for The Naked Gun, a reimagining of the beloved Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker comedy series—this time with Liam Neeson stepping into the gumshoes of bumbling detective Frank Drebin. Directed by Akiva Schaffer (Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping), the 2025 update leans hard into the original’s legacy of ridiculous set pieces, deadpan deliveries, and sight gags that fly faster than bullets.

Pamela Anderson co-stars as Vicki, a sultry presence caught in Drebin’s mess of mishaps, while a supporting cast filled with comedy veterans and fresh faces rounds out the ensemble. The trailer opens with a dramatic voiceover and a montage of crime-fighting tropes, only to derail into toilet humor, pratfalls, and Neeson’s hilariously dry take on physical comedy. He may be best known for brooding thrillers, but here, Neeson’s straight-faced commitment to chaos makes him an unexpectedly perfect Drebin.

With slick visuals, high-budget action gags, and an updated tone that nods to everything from Airplane! to Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Naked Gun reboot aims to revive the spoof genre with sharp production and even sharper silliness. It hits theaters later this year, just in time to remind audiences that comedy can still be loud, dumb, and deliriously fun.
