Liam Neeson was the lead actor in the first installment of George Lucas’ Star Wars prequel series. He played a Jedi Master named Qui-Gon Jinn, who was a mentor to Ewan McGregor’s young Obi-Wan Kenobi. If you haven’t seen the film, and have been living under a rock, this post will be a bit spoilery so continue reading at your on risk.
Even though The A-Team wasn’t a runaway hit like many of us thought it would be, it didn’t sour the relationship between director Joe Carnahan and star Liam Neeson. The duo plans on working together again on another project according to Deadline. The film is called The Grey, and it’s a thriller set against the backdrop of the Alaskan tundra. Just thinking about that makes us shiver!
Liam Neeson has been all about action films ever since Taken debuted in theaters early last year. It was a sleeper hit, and became somewhat of a cult phenomenon. He followed that performance with Zeus from Clash of the Titans and Hannibal in The A-Team, now he’s returning to his vengeful roots in the sequel Taken 2. Yes, it is happening.
Liam Neeson played Zeus, the father of Sam Worthington’s Perseus in the 2010 remake of Clash of the Titans. The film was a box office success that was quickly confirmed for a sequel. After finding a new director (Louis Leterrier isn’t returning), and reuniting the cast, they’ve finally come up with a title for their new adventure. According to Neeson, the film will be called Wrath of the Titans. Dun! Dun! Dun!
We all know that Liam Neeson is a badass. He’s not an overt, in your face action star but the man can handle himself in a fight. His latest film cleverly titled Unknown will have him fighting for not only his life but his identity. The film’s trailer was released last month and it featured the actor doing what he does best: running with a gun in his hand. Now an official poster has been released and it shares a common theme with one of Neeson’s previous projects. Can you tell which one?
Liam Neeson is in everything! Seriously, who is this man’s agent?! Over the past few years he’s been working non-stop and now not only is he taking parts offered to him, he’s taking parts that belonged to other people. Case in point, Mel Gibson was recently dropped from appearing in the sequel The Hangover 2 because the cast and crew highly opposed it. Therefore, they tapped Bradley Cooper’s A-Team co-star Neeson to take his place. No one had an objection to that!
Liam Neeson is at it again. The actor has another movie heading to theaters (does he ever stop?) and it’s called Unknown. It’s an action thriller mixed with a tale of mistaken identity that has Neeson on a search for answers. The film is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra who previously helmed the horror film Orphan and that God awful remake, House of Wax. Hopefully this movie is nothing like the latter. Check out the trailer below…
Over the past year Liam Neeson has made some questionable career choices, with his most recent being Battleship. Now according to ComingSoon, we can expect to see him again in another glossy, action film, Clash of the Titans 2. The actor will reprise his role as Zeus in the 3D sequel and he’ll be joined by Ralph Fiennes who played his evil brother Hades in the first film.
Over the past year or so, Liam Neeson has been signing on to some questionable films. We let The A-Team slide because of the nostalgia factor, but now he’s adding another military movie to his resume — Battleship. As in the Universal-Peter Berg directed adaptation of the popular Hasbro board game. What the hell?
