“It’s really wild. It’s just one laugh after another.” Paramount has unveiled a series of promo featurettes for the upcoming comedy reboot The Naked Gun, directed by the comedy mastermind Akiva Schaffer. Their opener “Absurdist comedy is back! A Naked Gun for the modern age — only in theatres August 1st.” Watch the full trailer here. Liam Neeson stars in this as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., son of the original Frank Drebin, played by comedy maestro Leslie Nielsen. Joining the case are Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu, & Danny Huston. The three original Naked Gun movies are some of the funniest ever made – for real. So much absurdly dumb humor. Thankfully this also looks hilarious! Only one man has the particular set of skills… to lead Police Squad and save the world! This promo shows some behind-the-scenes but mainly has the cast talking about how much fun this was to make and how they went back to old school comedy to make this just as funny as the before.
Here’s the “First Look” promo featurettes for Akiva Schaffer’s comedy The Naked Gun, from YouTube:
