People are wondering if The Naked Gun is getting a reboot and if Liam Neeson is starring in it. Here is everything you need to know.
Is a Naked Gun reboot happening?
Yes, a Naked Gun reboot is happening.
A reboot of The Naked Gun franchise has been given a go-ahead at Paramount, the studio announced on Wednesday, as per The Hollywood Reporter and Variety. The new film, which currently remains untitled, is scheduled to release in July 2025, the news outlets added.
The crew members behind the newest installment of the crime-spoof comedy franchise originally headlined by Leslie Nielsen were also revealed. Akiva Schaffer, who is known for his partnership with Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone for The Lonely Island, will helm the project. The Hot Rod director will also executive produce it. Schaffer co-wrote the reboot’s script with Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, with whom he previously worked in Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers.
Additional crew members who will be involved in the film as per the reports include Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins. They will produce The Naked Gun reboot via their production company Fuzzy Door.
The Hollywood Reporter spoke with the creators of the original movie David Zucker and Pat Proft in December 2023, about whether they were involved with the reboot. Despite writing a script for the fourth Naked Gun installment, both of them admitted that Paramount decided to go in a different direction and they were no longer involved with the film.
“It may come out and may be great — and good for that — but I…should have done this one…We’ve been totally blocked out of it,” Proft stated.
