Directed by Akiva Schaffer(Saturday Night Live, Popstar: Celebrity at Any Price) and produced by Seth MacFarlane(Ted, The Griffins), Is There a Cop to Save the World reinvents the famous parody franchise with a fresh dose of silliness. The film introduces us to Frank Drebin Jr. played by Liam Neeson, worthy heir to the famous lieutenant played by Leslie Nielsen in the original Is There a Cop to Save the World? films.... Burlesque style and absurdist humor remain at the heart of this comic action film, with a deliberately offbeat cast.
Joining Liam Neeson are Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, as well as CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu and Danny Huston. An eclectic cast, ideal for a comedy full of winks and absurd twists.
Is there a Cop to Save the World? will be shown on the big screen from August 6, 2025.
Synopsis: Only one man has the... shall we say, unique... skills to lead the prestigious Special Squad and... save the world, plain and simple! That man is Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr. - yes, you read that right - who follows in the footsteps of his illustrious father in Is There a Cop to Save the World?
This new version of Y a-t-il un flic pour... could delight fans of parodic comedies in the style of the original films, but also those who appreciate absurdist humor in the style of Hot Shots! or Scary Movie. Liam Neeson, known for his serious action roles, plays against the grain here, which could enhance the comic effect of the mismatch.
The film's style seems to appeal to an audience in search of uninhibited entertainment, fond of visual gags, absurd references and homages to genre classics. The presence of Pamela Anderson adds a nostalgic nod to the '90s, while Paul Walter Hauser and the rest of the cast ensure a cross-generational mix.
With Is There a Cop to Save the World, Akiva Schaffer breathes new life into a cult franchise with a dose of contemporary irony and an unexpected cast. The film promises to be a moment of pure parody, with improbable stunts, absurd dialogue and mischievous nods to pop culture. A summer program designed to make you laugh without restraint.
