Frank Drebin is back! Well, Frank Drebin Jr., as Liam Neeson is taking over the lead role in a reboot of The Naked Gun franchise that became a classic with a trio of movies starring Leslie Nielsen.
The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad is a movie adaptation of a short-lived TV series that was created by Jim Abrahams and Jerry & David Zucker, the same team behind Airplane! The movies starred Nielsen as the bumbling Detective Frank Drebin, who despite making almost every mistake imaginable in comedic fashion, always got his man. Now it’ll be Neeson hoping to bring some new life into the franchise as Drebin’s son.
