This seems to have a very different brand of humor than the original movies. If you aren't going to try to replicate it, I don't see the point. Hopefully, this isn't really representative of the movie.

I was at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas earlier this week and there was a cinemacon for Hollywood studio employees or something. Anyway they put ads all over.

Movie theater owners. Movie studios market their upcoming films, mostly this year's or the next's to them. Talked about in the General Movie News thread.

This Drebin seems to be in on the joke and aware of the silliness of the situation. The original Drebin never was. Also, it would've been more like Drebin to kill the two bank robbers accidentally. He shouldn't be just a sillier version of Neeson's recent characters. He should be habitually inept, but unaware of it and still able to get the job done by getting lucky. Hopefully, this is just the movie's silly opening and not really representative of the rest of the movie, but I am a little concerned.

But it's Drebin junior and it's Liam Neeson. We expect brutality from Liam Neeson. these days.
Don't you remember his cameo scene in Ted?

I expect him to act like Frank Drebin, otherwise they should've named it something else. It shouldn't be a parody of his action movies under the guise of being The Naked Gun.But it's Drebin junior and it's Liam Neeson. We expect brutality from Liam Neeson. these days.

I actually do agree that it does seem like a Naked Gun sequel but...
-I feel like Naked Gun had run it's full course through its trilogy. I don't think making another one is a good move.
-I rather see an attempt at remaking the Police Squad! show instead. Audiences weren't ready for such a concept back in the 70's, but surely a well made show would work in this age of streaming.
-Mind you, such a show shouldn't be strictly police related, maybe Law and Order, or CSI?
Anyways, I hope the new movie is good, but eh, I doubt it will be.

If it's from Seth MacFarlane I have very low expectations. The first Ted was hysterical - one of the funniest in-cinema experiences I have ever had. His movies since then have been really lackluster

This is going to be beyond awful and an embarrassment to a legendary film trilogy. Liam Neeson can be a very good dramatic actor when he wants to be but he doesn't have even a drop of the comedic talent that Leslie Nielsen did. That trailer wasn't even remotely funny.

If the Zucker brothers aren't involved, it's not a Naked Gun movie for me.

Apparently they showed a longer version of the teaser at CinemaCon, where Drebin Jr tore the arms of a villain and beat him up with them.
It very much plays off of Liam Neeson's "special set of skills" reputation.

That's a funny clip but only because Neeson was purposely not being funny. I don't think that actually shows any comedic talent and maybe that's why you posted it.

Idk, ripping someone's arms off and beating them with them doesn't seem original or funny or like something that belongs in a Naked Gun movie. If they wanted to make a parody movie with Neeson that leans into his special set of skills reputation then that's fine but it shouldn't be a part of the Naked Gun series.

Uh ok, not sure why you posted this five minutes after you already replied to the same post.
