Taken 3 has been renamed as Tak3n, in a move that surely signals the end of days is nearly upon us. Inspired by the likes of Se7en, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Cradle 2 The Grave and Magagascar: Escape 2 Africa, those behind the change obviously feel that this a worthy change. On the other hand, we can’t figure out the reason why.
It’s been a pretty busy week for those involved in the third installment of the action packed series. Just a few days ago, a whole set of Taken 3 images were released with Liam Neeson as Bryan Mills. This time, the story line will be different, as Bryan Mills will not be hunting down any kidnappers, as what is expected from the movies that came back before this. This time he will be hunted both by the U.S. government and bevy miscreants after he is framed for the murder of someone close to him.
Poor Bryan. He just can’t catch a break. At least he doesn’t need his passport this time, because it appears as though Taken 3 is set in the U.S. A guess can be made that the Europe Union confiscated Mills’ documents after his last journey there.
During a char with EmpireOnline Liam Neeson opened up about Taken 3, “There’s an amazing car chase down the wrong way of a freeway in Los Angeles,” before Olivier Megaton, who is back in the director’s chair after overseeing Taken 2, added, “It’s like The Fugitive. Bryan is going to be chased through the whole movie, he’s going to be in danger much more.”
Neeson refused to neither confirm nor deny if he was the one behind Taken 3’s or should I say Tak3n’s new name though, but whoever is should probably be imprisoned for crimes against cinema. Tak3n will be released on January 9, 2015.
