Liam Neeson's Bro Returns for TAKEN 3; Filming Begins This Month

 

Liam Neeson, fresh from saving stray dogs from thugs in Central Park, will be seeing Leland Orser again for TAKEN 3; Deadline reports.
Orser played Brian Mill's friend Sam in the previous films, 2008's TAKEN and the 2012 sequel Taken 2.
The sequel begins filming at the end of this month, and i'd place money it will probably be called TAK3N because why not.

Among others set to return are Famke Janssen,Maggie Grace, and John Gries. 

It was a bit of a stretch making TAKEN 2; but Neeson returned to the franchise with a wiff of $20 million as well as "no taking" policy for the films plot; but re-naming the film Taken 3: Not Quite Taken might be a bit off-putting from a marketing stand-point.

The franchise has followed Liam Neeson breaking into the "old dude action hero" genre as Brian Mills, ex-CIA operative who's daughter was "taken" in Europe and sold into human trafficking, followed by the families of the 79 henchmen Neeson blew through in the first film going after him in Taken 2.

Oliver Megaton (COLUMBiANA, Transporter 3) is returning to direct.
Despite some less than stellar reviews for the previous film, the series has raked in about $284,855,276, so people obviously aren't tired of Neeson kicking ass, especially since his recent endeavor, Non Stop has made about $142 million off of it's $50 mil budget.
