Development

In December 2013, Paramount Pictures announced that a reboot of The Naked Gun franchise was in development with Ed Helms cast in the role of Frank Drebin, while the script was being co-written by Thomas Lennon and R. Ben Garant.[1] By January 2014, Garant revealed that the working title of the project is Episode IV: A New Hope, while announcing that it is intended to be a sequel to the original films. Helms was intended to portray a character that introduces himself as "Frank Drebin, no relation" so that the movie can introduce a new protagonist without contradicting what came before.[2] In March 2015, David Zucker stated that he was offered a producing role on the project, but had declined to being involved as he felt like it would differ in comedic style and ultimately be inferior to his original films.[3][4] In August 2015, Helms confirmed that the script was still being written, while acknowledging the concerns that Zucker had with modern-day audience reception, and a need for something other than the spoof genre of the previous movies.[5] By March 2017, a re-write of the script was being completed by David Zucker and Pat Proft, with the plot being reworked to feature the son of Frank Drebin.[6]

In January 2021, it was announced that Seth MacFarlane had been hired to further develop the project. After MacFarlane had previously expressed interest in casting Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr. in 2015, the filmmaker was hired by the studio. Neeson revealed that the filmmaker alongside Paramount Pictures had approached him with a pitch to star in the movie.[7][8] In June of the same year, Neeson stated that MacFarlane was working on a new draft of the script, with the studio additionally negotiating the filmmaker's potential role as director. He expressed excitement for the project and the opportunity to explore a more comedic role, should he decide to star in the movie; while stating that development on the project is ongoing.[9] In February 2022, Neeson again confirmed that Paramount is still courting him to star in the legacy sequel.[10]

In October 2022, the film was officially greenlit with Neeson in the lead role as Frank Drebin Jr. and Akiva Schaffer directing. Dan Gregor and Doug Mand were hired to write a new draft of the script, from a previous draft with contributions from Mark Hentemann and Alec Sulkin. Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins served as producers, under their production company Fuzzy Door Productions.[11]

In April 2024, Pamela Anderson joined the cast of the film.[12] In May, Paul Walter Hauser joined the cast, playing Capt. Ed Hocken,[13] alongside Kevin Durand in an undisclosed villain role[14] as well as Danny Huston,[15] Liza Koshy, Cody Rhodes, CCH Pounder and Busta Rhymes.[16]

Filming

Principal photography began on May 6, 2024, in Atlanta, under the working title Law of Toughness, and wrapped on June 28.[17][18]

Release

The film is scheduled to be released in the United States on August 1, 2025.[19] It was originally scheduled for July 18, 2025.[20]
