As we predicted earlier in the week, Taken 2’s extraordinarily strong performance at the box office has convinced Fox executives that there’s life in the franchise yet, with writer Robert Mark Kamen suggesting that a third film is moving forward.
Indeed, Kamen doesn’t make any bones about the motivation behind another sequel, admitting that the second film’s $100m global opening made everybody think twice.
“We didn't start talking about [Taken 3] until we saw the numbers," explains Kamen. "But then we said, 'Oh, OK. I think we should do a third one.' And Fox wants us to do a third one."
Neeson has already expressed doubts over where exactly a third film could go, suggesting that his time on the series is up. However, Kamen argues that the new film will find a fresh angle that might persuade the star to stay.
“How many times can she be taken?” he reasons. “It's bad parenthood after that. Taken 3 is going to go in another direction. Should be interesting."
Taken 2 is in cinemas now.
