It’s official: The Naked Gun is back—and it’s every bit as absurd as you’d hoped. The teaser trailer for the 2025 reboot of the iconic slapstick franchise has just dropped, promising a riotous return to the kind of chaotic comedy that made Frank Drebin a legend.
This time around, Liam Neeson steps into the oversized shoes of the late, great Leslie Nielsen, playing Drebin’s equally clueless son, Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. And yes—he’s just as bad at police work and just as committed to doing it… poorly. The teaser wastes no time delivering sight gags, over-the-top stunts, and groan-worthy one-liners, proving that the spirit of the original is alive, well, and hilariously unhinged.
Helmed by Akiva Schaffer (Hot Rod, Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers) and produced by Seth MacFarlane, the reboot looks to blend the classic Zucker-style spoofs with a modern sensibility—without losing the joyful nonsense fans expect. Whether it’s a banana peel in a hostage situation or a solemn eulogy interrupted by fireworks, this teaser makes one thing clear: serious police work is about to get seriously dumb.
The film co-stars Pamela Adlon, Kevin Hart, and Paul Walter Hauser, with plenty of surprise cameos teased for longtime fans of the franchise. From pratfalls to pun-fueled press conferences, The Naked Gun (2025) aims to be a loving send-up of everything from detective dramas to today’s high-stakes action blockbusters.
Get ready to lock, load, and laugh—The Naked Gun hits theaters in summer 2025.
