Expected for years, the reboot with Liam Neeson of this cult comedy finally has a date

Is there a cop who can save Liam Neeson?

It’s been a while since we last heard about a reboot project for the cult saga There is a policeman…started in 1988 with Is there a policeman to save the queen?. In 2021, Liam Neeson announced that he would reprise the role of the clumsy policeman played at the time by Leslie Nielsen. The actor, accustomed to action films for years, then specified with humor that this project could”put an end to (one’s) career, or take it in another direction“.

As a reminder, we owe the saga of There is a policeman… to the trio David Zucker, Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams, known by the acronym ZAZ. The latter offered some of the greatest American parody comedies, come with Is there a pilot on the plane? (1980). Leslie Nielsen also had a supporting role before becoming one Frank Drebinthe LAPD’s worst officer, first mentioned in the series Police team (1982).

Paramount announces a date!

Two years after Liam Neeson’s announcement, the actor broke news of the reboot by stating that Seth MacFarlane was writing the script. They hoped to shoot during the summer of 2023. But here we are in 2024 and no images have been released. However, if we want to believe it, the project is very much alive Expiration, who shared Paramount’s upcoming release schedule. We thus learn that the studio plans to release the new one Is there a policeman? July 18, 2025 in the United States. In France we could expect to see it hit theaters on the 16th.

Production would be handled by Akiva Schaffer, while Seth MacFarlane would remain in production through his company Fuzzy Door. Filming should therefore not take long. The great curiosity behind this project is to see Liam Nesson in a comic role. It will be a breath of fresh air for those who have followed him for a while and have seen him make a series of revenge films, most of them forgettable.
