Paramount has dated several of their upcoming live-action features, including a Liam Neeson-starring remake of “The Naked Gun” and the Robbie Williams-centric musical “Better Man.”

Set for July, the still untitled “Naked Gun” remake sees Akiva Schaffer direct and executive produce. Dan Gregor and Doug Mand are listed as screenwriters alongside Schaffer. The trio previously worked on the Emmy-winning film “Chip ‘N Dale: Rescue Rangers,” which premiered on Disney+ in 2022. Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins will produce via their company Fuzzy Door. 

The “Naked Gun” franchise, which spawned three films between 1988 and 1994 followed Frank Drebin (originally played by Leslie Nielsen) and was a send-up of popular crime dramas and films noir.
