So after speaking to Liam Neeson and Taken 2's director Olivier Megaton, who both told me how they didn't even want to make the second movie, never mind a third, now it seems that will in fact be happening. Any thoughts as to what kind of predicament Bryan Mills might find himself in this time round? Will Famke Janssen who plays the mom be the one to save the day this time round? Whatever happens, dear God get rid of Maggie Grace; sure she's pretty but she can't act for her dinner. Not even Liam could fathom where a third movie would take them. You can watch that interview here.
Even though the second movie is a pile of pants, it's doing pretty well at the box office. And as is the trend in Hollywood; if a movie makes enough money the first time round, they'll often call for a second, if it makes money the seond time round, it'll bring about a third. Hence the likes of the Die Hard franchise. Never mind the quality of the story or the fact that Liam Neeson standing at 6'3" looks likes he's fighting with a load of - as Gordon Hayden on the movie show said - little Eastern European Danny DeVitos.
Speaking to Hollywood.com, scriptwriter Robert Mark Kamen said: "We didn't start talking about [Taken 3] until we saw the numbers... But then we said, 'Oh, OK. I think we should do a third one'. And Fox wants us to do a third one."
