Paramount jump-started its CinemaCon presentation Thursday by dropping the first teaser trailer for The Naked Gun, the reboot of the cop-spoof franchise.
Liam Neeson plays Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Leslie Nielsen who is following in his father’s footsteps. Akiva Schaffer (Saturday Night Live, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping) directs and Seth MacFarlane (Ted, Family Guy) produces.
The cast includes Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser (as the son of George Kennedy’s Captain Ed Hocken), CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy and Eddie Yu, with Danny Huston.
The trailer features Drebin foiling a bank robbery after sneaking into the scene disguised as a schoolgirl licking a lollypop. After dispatching the bad guys, he’s asked who is is. “Frank Drebin, Police Squad” he responds. “The new version.”
Check out the trailer above.
