‘Naked Gun’ Reboot Sets July 15, 2025 a Release Date!!

The long in the works reboot of the cop comedy The Naked Gun is heading to theaters next year. Paramount will release Akiva Schaffer‘s reboot of the spoof franchise on July 15, 2025. Variety reports that the film, which is set to star Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin, taking over from comedy legend Leslie Nielsen, will be a summer release next year. The release calendar for 2025, after pandemic and strike-related delays, is beginning to shape up. Next July, The Naked Gun will face off against Ballerina, the Ana de Armas-led spinoff of the John Wick franchise; the Disney animated film Elio; the live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon; and the horror sequel The Black Phone 2.

So far, little is known about the Schaffer-led reboot, which will feature action star Neeson lampooning his own image as the effective but imbecilic Drebin. Lonely Island veteran Schaffer will direct and executive produce, and co-wrote the film’s draft script with writing duo Dan Gregor and Doug Mand (Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend). The film will be produced by Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins via their company Fuzzy Door.
