It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s another reboot from someone other than the original creators—though not for a lack of trying.
Even before the 30th anniversary of “Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult” last month, die-hards of the spoof genre’s trilogy have acknowledged its non-coincidental uptick in availability on cable and streaming of late.
Due for release on July 28, 2025, the fourth “Naked Gun” will see Liam Neeson play the lead character Frank Drebin Jr.; Seth MacFarlane of “Family Guy” fame as producer; and Akiva Schaffer from comedy trio The Lonely Island as director.
