Non Stop To Become A Franchise For Liam Neeson
It seems that Non Stop is going to become Liam Neeson’s second big action franchise of the past decade after Taken. Here is what Joel Silver recently said on the potential series:
“I need to think of a way to put them in an equal situation. But when I make a sequel I like to replicate the experience, not replicate the movie. I’m not going to put them on a plane again, of course. He has a touch of Sherlock Holmes in that he has to figure out what’s going on and then he has to figure out how to solve it. I think that character’s a great character and we’ll try to figure something else to do. I haven’t thought about it yet. But I have to, sooner or later.”
I’m on board, even if the first movie wasn’t the strongest movie in Neeson’s recent output. It’s amazing how much draw Neeson has at this stage in his career, as one franchise ends (Taken) another seems to be gaining traction.
