First trailer for Liam Neeson’s Naked Gun reboot released

Neeson steps into the role of the bumbling detective made famous by Leslie Nielsen in the TV show and film series created by the Zucker Abrahams Zucker team

He is then seen tearfully addressing a photograph of Drebin Snr, as offspring of Captain Ed Hocken (George Kennedy) and, more controversially, Officer Nordberg (OJ Simpson) are seen following suit. Neeson, 72, was nominated for an Oscar for his role in 1993’s Schindler’s List, and found a second wind as an actor in action films, including the Taken series (2008-2014). As well as being critically acclaimed, the three original movies were substantial commercial hits, making $166m at the box office and enjoying a healthy afterlife on home entertainment and streaming.
