Neeson Vs. Terrorists In ‘Willing Patriot’

The manlier phase of Liam Neeson’s career continues with another apparent dark and ballsy thriller, this time the big man is set to butt heads with terrorists.

He is in final negotiations to star in Martin Zandvliet’s terrorist-themed thriller “A Willing Patriot” at MadRiver Pictures. Jason Keller penned the script and will produce with Marc Butan.

In the movie, Neeson will play a C.I.A. agent who engages in an elaborate bac and forth chess game with a sinister terrorist planning an imminent attack. He’ll risk everything, including his own life, to stop his foe and avenge his mysterious past.

Some of Neeson’s picks with these kinds of movies have been good, others have been kind of average.  Hopefully this is one of the better ones.  I’ll tell you one thing, the guy sure is busy, almost Dolph Lundgren busy…

He also has an upcoming thriller about an IRA sniper, as well as another actioner set about a submarine.  It may be the last we see though since he has stated he’ll wind these sorts of movies down in the next five years.
