"The Naked Gun" Hits Egyptian Cinemas

The latest installment to a time-honored franchise, "The Naked Gun" — directed this time around by Akiva Schaffer and produced by comedic-genius Seth McFarlane — with Liam Neeson assuming the iconic role of bumbling detective Frank Drebin, originally made famous by Leslie Nielsen. 

The film is set to release in theatres across Egypt on July 30th, courtesy of Fourstar Films.

Neeson is joined by an all-star cast the illustrious Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu, and Danny Huston. 

Seth MacFarlane is also joining forces with Erica Huggins, producing under MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door banner, known for comedic staples such as "Family Guy" and "The Cleveland Show".

The logline for the film reads: "Only one man has the particular set of skills to lead Police Squad and save the world! In a bid to solve a murder case, Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. follows in his bumbling father's footsteps into the unknown,".

A fresh take on the classic slapstick series, "The Naked Gun"  promises to deliver the same absurd humor and over-the-top antics that made the original films cult favorites. The casting of Neeson — known for his dramatic roles but with a proven comedic flair — suggests an exciting new direction for the franchise.
