Hot on the heels of director Oliver Megaton’s comments (via Empire) that the new film is essentially a riff on “The Fugitive” (and will be set entirely in Los Angeles), Liam Neeson let slip some story deets about “Taken 3” to USA Today.
I have to go on the run, I’ll put it that way, from the not-so-lawful types and the lawful authorities. Bryan Mills served his country faithfully, but now even they are after him. They must not like me. This time, no more traveling. If my daughter was ‘taken’ again on a trip, Bryan Mills would have to be certifiably locked up for bad parenting.
It’s a rollicking good story. But I think this is the end. If I feel audiences saying, ‘Come on, he’s 62, enough is enough,’ I’m very sensitive to that and if I pick up that vibe it will all stop. And I’ll start playing dads or grandfathers,. But I keep myself pretty fit and my knees are still great. And it’s fun.
“Taken 3”, out in January, co-stars Forest Whitaker as, presumably, the ‘Sam Gerard’ of the film.
