Taken 2


"Taken" is a great action thriller starring Liam Neeson. Bryan Mills (Neeson) has to go on an adventure full of face smashing and gun shooting to save his daughter from the slave trade. The film was written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen, the hit team behind "The Fifth Element" and the "Transporter" franchise.

The LA Times wrote an article on Kamen's career and an interesting tidbit in the article comes at the end.

"With more action films in the works, including a sequel to 'Taken' and an American version of 'District 13,' a popular 2004 French thriller that Besson produced, Kamen says he's never been happier."

The LA Times article describes "Taken's" success as the years biggest hit.
"Taken" has grossed $118 million and was still the No. 3 box-office movie this past weekend after five weeks in release, was produced by Besson and co-written by Kamen.

So a sequel is on the way and Mills will have to go on another journey to bust some skulls to save someone. So there will be another kidnapping? Will his daughter get taken again or will she be smarter now and know how to fight too?
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
