The only thing that’s been Taken here is a bunch more money. Liam Neeson, who was initially having second thoughts about starring in Taken 3 is currently negotiating a $20 million contract to star in the third installment of the action franchise that essentially reinvented his career. The price tag marks a $5 million raise from his salary for the last film. The writers of the first two films, Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen, are working on the new script, with Olivier Megaton possibly returning to direct. Famke Janssen and Maggie Grace have yet to sign on. Production is expected to begin in February 14.
