"Is a police officer the savior of the world, featuring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson": a law-enforcement action starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson
In the world of comedy, the return of beloved franchises is always a cause for excitement. One such return that has recently graced our screens is the reboot of the iconic The Naked Gun series. However, there seems to be some confusion about who directed this new installment.
Contrary to some rumours, the 2017 reboot of The Naked Gun does not exist. The most recent reboot was actually released in 2025, and it was Akiva Schaffer who took the helm as director.
The journey to this point was a complex one. For many years, plans for a sequel or reboot were in the works, with a 2013 attempt featuring Ed Helms and a 2009 TV sequel plan. However, it wasn't until the early 2020s that the project was officially revived.
Initially, Seth MacFarlane was attached to direct, but he was eventually replaced by Schaffer after the film was greenlit in 2022. Liam Neeson starred as the new lead in the film, which is a sequel to the original The Naked Gun series and part of the legacy of Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker, the creators of the original series.
So, if you've been wondering who directed the 2025 The Naked Gun reboot, the answer is clear: Akiva Schaffer. Fans of the original series can rest easy knowing that the reboot is in good hands, and newcomers to the franchise can look forward to a hilarious ride.
