Hands the place I can see them. All of them. It could have appeared like a horrible concept on paper, however the latest installment in The Naked Gun franchise is definitely shaping as much as look actually humorous. This was constructing as soon as the teaser dropped in April, and now we’ve much more proof, as the total trailer has arrived lower than two months earlier than the film’s August launch.
This time round, it’s the son of Lieutenant Frank Drebin (Liam Neeson) who’s on the case, as he follows in his father’s footsteps (by way of hopscotch?) to hold on his legacy and depart one among his personal. Joining Neeson will probably be Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Liz Koshy, Danny Huston, WWE famous person Cody Rhodes, rapper Busta Rhymes, and extra.
The authentic Naked Gun trilogy is, so far as I’m involved, one of many strongest comedy collection ever. And everyone knows that Leslie Nielsen – who portrayed Drebin not solely in these motion pictures but additionally the too-short-lived ABC collection Police Squad! – was simply sensible within the style. Neeson, nevertheless, has that type of straight face that may channel Nielsen and the vibe of the unique motion pictures and present; and primarily based on each the teaser and the trailer (and, actually, the posters), that is precisely what director Akiva Schaffer (The Lonely Island; Pop Star: Never Stop Never Stopping) is seeking to obtain this whereas additionally making the film work in its personal proper.
But to do this, Schaffer and firm have to have the ability to department out on their very own. That stated, they nonetheless did attain out to collection co-creator David Zucker…who shortly turned them away and later recommended that spoof motion pictures present no indicators of being resurrected. Then once more, we by no means thought we’d see one other Naked Gun film.
The Naked Gun hits the streets on August 1st; within the meantime, you’ll want to take a look at the brand new trailer above and newest poster under.
