Liam Neeson’s ‘Naked Gun’ Reboot Reveals First Trailer — With an O.J. Simpson Joke
This is truly going to be a good year, as Paramount’s new Naked Gun movie debuted its first teaser trailer.
The studio shared the video online just before the start of its CinemaCon presentation Thursday, where extended footage was revealed to huge laughs and resounding applause. The comedy stars Liam Neeson as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Police Squad legend Frank Drebin, initially played in the franchise by the late Leslie Nielsen.
Naked Gun’s footage teases a tone that should please fans of the original series, including a moment in which Neeson beats a man with his own dismembered arms. There are also scenes suggesting sexual activity between Neeson and Pamela Anderson’s character that are not quite what they seem. Another memorable moment references Nordberg, the role played in the original movies by O.J. Simpson.
In one scene, Neeson interrogates a character played by Busta Rhymes.
