The announcement trailer for this brand new sequel to The Naked Gun series was strong. The gags were absurd, the style hilariously cinematic, the casting of Liam Neeson to succeed Leslie Neilsen a stroke of genius. But a fresh trailer has arrived shaping the image of this slapstick movie as more focused on the gag than on the laugh. We’re not used to slapstick anymore either, but I do commend The Lonely Island for fully going for it. Which is another positive stacked up! They’ve made some funny movies and some hilarious music, not to mention Andy Samberg steeping in police comedy for over a decade with Brooklyn 99. It’s in good hands. But will it be good? We find out August 1st.
How does the new trailer stack up for you? Amusing or concerning?
