In addition to the next Is there a copLiam Neeson will star in an action film Fast & Furious distributed by Amazon Prime Video, we are almost intrigued.
If you haven’t noticed that Liam Neeson loves acting in action films, take a look at his filmography. From Taken in 2008, the actor seems to have fallen in love with the genre, to the point that we have the impression that he voluntarily seeks to lock himself into this image of an aging actionman. Or maybe he REALLY likes to make jokes. Liam Neeson even said he wanted to continue making action films for a long time, at least until his body no longer allows it.
After joining Pamela Anderson in the remake (reboot?) of the comedy Is there a cop, the American-British actor plans to star in yet another action thriller, at the age of 71. But this time, we wonder if it couldn’t finally be a good film.
“I like guns…”
Liam Neeeeeeson and Mongooooose
This film is about Mongoosean action thriller set in a big car chase directed by Mark Vanselow and written by Thompson Evans (Reckoning). The pitch is rather intriguing: Ryan “Fang” Flanagan (Liam Neeson) is a war hero accused of a crime he did not commit. With nothing left to lose, he leads the police on an epic televised chase across the country. Helped by members of his former army battalion and under the gaze of a fascinated public, Fang will do everything to ensure that this race is not his last.
Mongoose (which literally means “mongoose” in French) marks the second collaboration between Liam Neeson and Mark Vanselow After Cold blood in 2019, for which Vanselow was second unit director. He was also an action sequence director and stunt coordinator for several major productions (Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull).
“I drive”, tin tin tin, tin tin tin, tin tin
According to Deadlinethe filming of Mongoose is expected to start in January 2025 in Australia. Producers Al Corley and Bart Rosenblatt also showed their enthusiasm for the project, their third with Neeson after Ice Road and its sequel planned for 2025: “We are very fortunate to be able to make another film with the extraordinary Liam Neeson and the enormous talent that is Mark Vanselow. We look forward to this new creative journey with our partners and friends.”.
It remains to be seen if it will (finally) be a good film with Liam Neeson, or just another insipid and too quickly forgettable action film…
