Taken 2 events take a place in Istanbul, where retired CIA operative Bryan Mills and his wife are taken hostage by the father of a kidnapper Mills killed while rescuing his daughter.
Directed by Olivier Megaton, who worked on Colombiana and Transporter 3 with Jason Statham, written by legendary producer Luc Besson and his colleague Robert Mark Kamen, who mostly known as a writer of the Karate Kid movies including the one with Jackie Chan, but also presented us films such as Transporter trilogy, Taken, Jet Li‘s Kiss of The Dragon, The Fifth Element, Lethal Weapon 3 and other action blockbusters.
Interesting stuff, there were a lot of rumors about replacing Liam Neeson with Sean Bean, Mickey Rourke, Ralph Fiennes, Ray Winstone or Jason Isaacs, but later officially comfirmed that original cast will back… Thanks a lot!
Taken 2 will be released in theaters on October 5, 2012.
