Another New Trailer for Taken with Liam Neeson
February 4, 2008
Source: Official Website
by Alex Billington
I first discovered this French thriller back in December (watch that trailer) and have since been crossing my fingers, hoping that it would somehow make it to America. Another new full trailer for Taken has arrived, courtesy of the official website (taken-lefilm.com), and it brings a new sense of excitement to the table. Liam Neeson stars in this movie co-written by Robert Mark Kamen (of The Transporter) and Luc Besson (of The Professional) about a father who goes on a manhunt after his daughter is kidnapped in Paris. Not only is this trailer cut amazingly well, but this movie just looks awesome.
Why the hell isn't this coming out in the US in February?! How long we do have to wait for this! Fox sadly has the US distribution rights - so I beg them, please bring this over here soon! Or else I'll have to fly to France myself in the end of February just to see this.
Watch the full trailer for Taken:
Taken is directed by Pierre Morel, director of District B13 and long-time cinematographer, and is co-written by Robert Mark Kamen (Kiss of the Dragon, The Transporter) and Luc Besson (The Professional, La Femme Nikita, Fifth Element). The film does not have a US release date set by Fox, but is arriving in France in February 2008. The newest poster for Taken is featured below.

I remember when I saw the previous trailer that was posted here two months back and let me tell you, I was "taken" when I saw it then, and I am "taken" yet again by this revised trailer!
I love the way Liam acts while talking on the phone and the cutting back to him in fights and utilizing his "skills". From the way it looks, it looks like they've taken his daughter portrayed by Maggie Grace (from Lost) whom I almost didn't recognize at first with the dark hair to some sort of slavery ring or such.
The fact that Luc Besson's name is on this along with Liam Neeson has me very excited to see this! I can't wait for North American release date for this one!
Gotta love the French filmmakers sometimes! They can come out of the woodwork and just kick some serious ass!
- By the way, the poster is brilliant!

Wow, didn't see the "they're going to take you" after she hid under the bed part coming at all. This movie is going to be great. How can you go wrong with a story like this? The past works of the writers say enough about the quality of this film.

Alex & Keith - Why not February? Why don't we get the Hollywood films in the UK for sometimes up to a year? The promotion wagon rolls through one area at a time, I'm afraid you're just going to have to wait your turn like the rest of us.

Oh, I *love* Liam Neeson. This looks awesome! And I, too, cannot wait for it to make it to America. Why France gets it first, I'm not sure I understand. Curses!!!!!!
It does look very much like a darker version (if that's possible) of "Man on Fire."
Thanks for posting the trailer!!!!

I had the opportunity to watch this movie on Saturday 16th in France (for those who doubt it, it was displayed at the "Nuit de l'ESSEC" that night) and here are my impressions.
I really didn't know anything about that movie when I took a sit, but to be honest, I've been… really impressed. Deeply impressed.
Actually, I found Liam Neeson as particularly good in this movie (like in Schindler's list, but opposed to Star Wars) playing the ready-to-do-whatever-it-takes father looking out for his daughter. He acts convincingly this ruthless ex-special agent.
The scenario is not the main point of this movie, however, it is convincing, supported by a good cast.
The very strong point is the action sequences, which reflect Liam Neeson's way of dealing with things : ruthlessly. However, some people might find the movie far too violent… I shamely confess that I definitely enjoyed that heavy display of violence
To sum up… I'm currently thinking of watching it again when it'll be released!

Did anyone else think that Famke Jannsen character in this film, reminded them of her role in "Don't Say a Word"? Just an observation.

I wish Fox would hurry and get it here. My neice plays the photo shop girl. It's her first project with a speaking part-two lines! It's a start.
