The teaser trailer for the action thriller sequel Taken 2 certainly got some people excited, and before that a shadowy quad poster from the UK had Liam Neeson calmly waiting, gun in hand, for some action. Now a poster from France has Neeson in a similar situation, but this time he's standing, gun in hand again, and likely pondering about the best way to kill his enemies in pursuit of him and his family. It's always best to ponder these things in low light and in front of large numbers as well. It's nothing spectacular, but fans already know what they want and expect from a sequel like this, so there's not much selling to do. Look!

Here's the French poster for Olivier Megaton's Taken 2 from IMP Awards:

Taken 2 is a sequel to the surprise 2008 action hit starring Liam Neeson. In Istanbul, retired CIA operative Bryan Mills (Neeson) and his wife (Famke Janssen) are taken hostage by the father of a kidnapper Mills killed while rescuing his daughter (Maggie Grace) in the first film. French filmmaker Olivier Megaton (of Colombiana and Transporter 3 previously) directs the film from a script by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen (who both wrote the original Taken film and Fifth Element together); Besson is also producing. 20th Century Fox is bringing Taken 2 to theaters everywhere starting on October 5th this year. Excited yet?
