Liam Neeson’s “Taken 3” will have a different approach to its storyline as Bryan Mills would be called a “bad parent” if his daughter was kidnapped for a third time.
Neeson, 62, spoke to USA Today about what the retired CIA agent will be up to in the third “Taken” installment. The film, which is slated to hit theaters on Jan. 9, 2015, follows the story of Mills after he’s framed for murder.
"I have to go on the run, I'll put it that way, from the not-so-lawful types and the lawful authorities," Neeson said. "Bryan Mills served his country faithfully, but now even they are after him. They must not like me."
Neeson added later in the interview, "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."
Of course it wouldn’t be a “Taken” film if Neeson’s character doesn’t throw out his "I have a very particular set of skills” tag line from the first film. Forest Whitaker, who plays a law enforcement agent hunting for Mills, explained to USA Today why people are drawn to Neeson’s character.
"People are attracted to quiet heroes," Whitaker said. "Liam's presence has that. He gives people a sense of comfort and security. And he's an excellent actor.”
Unfortunately fans won’t get to see a big fight scene between Whitaker and Neeson. Though Whitaker teased to USA Today there may be a “Taken 4”, Neeson claimed he believes the third installment is the last film of the franchise.
"It's a rollicking good story," Neeson said."But I think this is the end."
