And the award for the most original film title goes to…
When it comes to creating film titles JOE likes to think of ourselves as having plenty of unique and interesting ideas.
We think that Speed would have been much more successful if it was called ‘The Bus that Couldn’t Slow Down’ or if Intermission was named ‘Irish criminals, crazy romance, brown sauce and lady moustaches’.
We have sent countless emails, texts and carrier pigeons to the producers of the new Taken film pleading with them to call the new instalment ‘Liam Neeson can’t stop punching people’ but it seems that they have opted for the sexier and more grammatically incorrect Tak3n.
Speaking with USA today, Neeson was coy about who, if anyone, will actually get taken in Tak3n.
According to the actor, “I have to go on the run, I’ll put it that way, from the not-so-lawful types and the lawful authorities…Bryan Mills serves his country faithfully, but now even they are after him.”
Don’t worry though because we we still think that Liam will get to punch, kick, shoot and basically kick the crap out of loads of more bad guys.
Famke Janssen and Maggie Grace return alongside newcomer Forest Whitaker but Neeson did say that Tak3n will mark the end of the his involvement in the saga. “I think this is the end,” he says, which makes it unlikely (but not impossible) that anyone will ever make a movie titled Ta4en.
No word on whether the main man from Ballymena is renaming himself Liam N33son for the occasion though.
Tak3n is slated to hit theatres on January 9.
