The Naked Gun reboot is about to make 2025 a good year.
Paramount Pictures announced release dates Wednesday for a number of upcoming films. This includes director Akiva Schaffer’s new untitled installment in the Naked Gun comedy franchise hitting theaters July 28, 2025. The movie, first announced back in 2022, stars Liam Neeson and includes Seth MacFarlane as a producer.
The studio also announced that Paw Patrol 3 will launch July 31, 2026, as a follow-up to the studio’s September sequel PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie that topped $200 million globally. The new film hails from Spin Master Entertainment in association with Nickelodeon Movies. Another animation feature — director Jeff Rowe’s TMNT 2 — is set for Oct. 9, 2026, as a follow-up to the filmmaker’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, which came out last August and collected $180 million worldwide.
Among other titles landing on the studio’s calendar is Novocaine starring Jack Quaid and Amber Midthunder, set to release March 14, 2025. The action title from directors Robert Olsen and Dan Berk features Quaid as a bank executive whose inability to feel pain becomes an asset after his institution is robbed.
Additionally, the Dakota Fanning-led Vicious hits theaters Aug. 8, 2025. Bryan Bertino directed the film from his own script about a woman who fends for her life during a harrowing night after receiving a mysterious gift.
Original musical Better Man from director Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman) opens in limited release on Christmas Day of 2024 and goes wide Jan. 17, 2025. The biographical movie stars British singer Robbie Williams as himself.
Dan Gregor and Doug Man wrote the new Naked Gun film’s script with Schaffer following the two scribes having penned the director’s Emmy-winning Disney+ feature Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022). MacFarlane and Erica Huggins of Fuzzy Door produce the movie that is based on the Naked Gun film franchise and the television series Police Squad! from Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker.
I know I won’t be the only one to confuse Liam and Leslie’s names.
Thought they reanimated the man for a moment… With his patented fart machine of course.
Produced by Seth MacFarlane
I love how they got the serious actor like Leslie was before his serious comedies. Looking forward to it.
It’s Enrico Pallazzo!
I hope to god an entire generation of kids grow up with the affiliation of Neeson as a slapstick comedy guy
Nothing to see here, even if he does have a special set of skills.
FFS remake bad movies with a good story instead of good movies that are fine as they are.

Liam definitely has the [improv skills](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2Co0lvFUAo).
I mean, he does do good [deadpan.](https://youtu.be/Z2Co0lvFUAo?si=Etara55Dw0-jSogF)
He’s got full blown AIDS.
I was just thinking they should do a Naked Gun with Christopher Meloni (with a hint of Gene from WHAS)
But maybe this version will keep me on my toes.
wow. they’re really out of ideas..
Will it be called Taken Gun?
Whatever happened to that guy who played Nordberg?
I am intrigued at the thought of Liam Neeson starring in a slapstick comedy
Let’s do some improvisational comedy. Now.
With Ray Lewis as Nordberg!
(Liam Neeson is the perfect choice for this remake and I’m excited)
That is genius
In fact – I used to joke about that years ago about the two names sounding similar
There’s no possible way anybody can equal or top Leslie Nielsen. I wish they didn’t have the silly need to attempt to reboot the Naked Gun.
Good choice, they at least nailed the initials of the actor if nothing else.
