There’s a laugh or two in this trailer for Seth MacFarlane’s reunion with Neeson (“A Million Ways to Die in the West”) for a remake of Leslie Nielsen’s comical triumph.

And there’s something fitting in MacFarlane’s “stretch” of putting aged avenger Neeson in a revival of a beloved comedy franchise.

MacFarlane produced this and didn’t direct the August release. And yes, the trailer does feel like a gag he might have had animated as a one-off for “The Family Guy.” But we’ll see.
