No official plot details for Seth MacFarlane's "Naked Gun" reboot have been announced. Until MacFarlane, Paramount, or anyone else affiliated with the reboot goes on record to discuss the plot, it's probably safest to assume the new "Naked Gun" will take the basic plot from the 1988 movie and revamp it. The original "Naked Gun" movie followed Lieutenant Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen), a charming but completely incompetent cop who finds himself tasked with leading a small team to protect Queen Elizabeth II after he learns there is a plot to assassinate her.
"The Naked Gun" not only packs in the action, but is rife with slapstick humor, sights gags, and puns — all of which MacFarlane has experience with through his work, including both "Ted" films, "Family Guy," and "The Orville." But while fans can expect MacFarlane to retain the various forms of overt comedy, like the puns and slapstick shenanigans, for his take on "The Naked Gun," the writer/director will no doubt dream up a new plot for the rebooted Frank Drebin.
