Liam Neeson in Taken 2

After many rumors, leaving the impression that no longer wants to play in a Taken sequel, Liam Neeson has signed a contract for the sequel.

A sequel for Taken was taken into account since the first week of launch, given a budget of $ 25 millions that drew about 200 million dollars, frankly, what director wouldnt want a sequel?
Liam Neeson, who played an important role in the success of the film was going to take the rest of the year off, after he would be over with shooting for Wrath of the Titans, which does not coordinate with the plans of director Luc Besson to start the production of Taken 2 immediately.
Considering this thing, Luc Besson tried to recruit other stars for Taken 2, names including Sean Bean, Mickey Rourke, Ralph Fiennes, Ray Winstone and Jason Isaacs.
All of this is the past, because Besson and Liam Neeson agreed to start production and filming late this year or early 2012.
Besson wrote the script again in collaboration with Robert Mark Kamen and as Deadline reports, Olivier Megaton, who directed Transporter 3 for Besson, is joining the team, replacing Pierre Morel.

A bit of news that brings a touch of joy, because we believe that Liam Neeson did a well-defined role in Luc Besson's film, not only lifting the movie, but adding a film market value.
