The teaser trailer for the much-delayed The Naked Gun reboot starring Liam Neeson sees his character, Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., letting it all hang out while attempting to stop a bank robbery. Watch it below.
Elsewhere in the trailer, we see Neeson and Capt. Ed Hocken (Paul Walter Hauser) paying tribute to their respective fathers, Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) and Cpt. Ed Hocken (George Kennedy). There’s also a nod to the real-life crimes of O.J. Simpson, with his character’s son gazing at a photo and declining to remember him fondly.
“Only one man has the particular set of skills… to lead Police Squad and save the world!” reads the official logline. Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. follows in his father’s footsteps in The Naked Gun.”
Out in theaters on August 1st, the film was directed by The Lonely Island’s Akiva Schaffer, who co-wrote the script with Dan Gregor and Doug Mand (Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend). Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins produced through their company, Fuzzy Door.
Also appearing in The Naked Gun are Pamela Anderson, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu, and Danny Huston.
