Not long after the incredible success of Taken 2, it was revealed that work was underway to bring Taken 3 to theaters. Today, Deadline confirms that Liam Neeson is nearly set to return and will be paid nearly $20 million to do so.
Robert Mark Kamen and Luc Besson will again provide the screenplay for the third film which, as Kamen noted last year will offer a new twist on the franchise formula.
Released last fall, Taken 2 pulled in more than $375 million worldwide, beating the original Taken's total gross of $226 million."
Wasn't Liam really outspoken about how ****** and unnecessary the 2nd one was after it came out in cinemas and was a critical car-crash? Can't even imagine how they'd milk a 3rd one from an already worn-out storyline.
This movie is awful..
