Hollywood icon Pamela Anderson is stepping into the world of slapstick comedy, starring alongside action legend Liam Neeson in the much-anticipated reboot of The Naked Gun. Slated for theatrical release across the UAE on August 1, 2025, the film promises a fresh dose of nostalgia and laughs for fans of the original series.
Directed by Akiva Schaffer and produced by comedy mastermind Seth MacFarlane, this new installment revives the beloved spoof-comedy franchise made famous by Leslie Nielsen in the late 80s and early 90s. The reboot sees Neeson taking on the role of Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Nielsen’s legendary character, while Anderson plays Beth Davenport, a sharp and stylish investigative partner and love interest—drawing parallels to Priscilla Presley’s memorable role in the original trilogy.

In recent interviews, Anderson spoke about the challenges and joys of stepping into such a wildly comedic universe. Known for her dramatic and sultry roles, the actress described this shift as both “liberating and authentic.”
“I think people are most drawn to you when you’re being real—even in the most exaggerated settings,” Anderson said. “Comedy works best when there’s a sense of honesty behind the chaos.”
She also revealed that Priscilla Presley personally encouraged her before filming began, advising her to lean into the silliness and just have fun with the role.
According to the filmmakers, the chemistry between Anderson and Neeson was a major highlight of the production. Despite their very different acting backgrounds, the two clicked instantly, blending his deadpan delivery with her confident comedic timing.
Sources from the set say their dynamic brings a fresh layer of wit and heart to the film, which balances absurd humor with moments of surprising emotional depth.
Promotional tours for The Naked Gun have already made waves in major cities like London, Berlin, and New York. Pamela Anderson dazzled on the red carpet, often accompanied by her son, while Neeson was praised for his gracious and down-to-earth demeanor. Their joint appearances have sparked excitement among fans worldwide, including here in the UAE.
Early previews and test screenings have received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with audiences applauding the film’s nostalgic nods to the original trilogy and its updated comedic approach for a modern audience.
The reboot doesn't just aim to mimic the original—it pays homage while carving out its own identity. With sharp writing, outrageous stunts, and a cast that knows how to deliver both subtle gags and over-the-top punchlines, The Naked Gun (2025) is shaping up to be a must-watch summer blockbuster.
