Taken star bows out of future action flicks

Liam Neeson may have a very particular set of abilities, but it does not look like he is definitely going to be using them for much more.

Yes, even the Taken celebrity and action legend has confessed that he’s becoming a little too old to do that type of thing.

Talking at the Toronto International Film Festival, Liam alluded that while studio managers continue to be desperate for him to delve into his own particular skill-set, he has had enough.

While we are sad to hear that Liam could be retiring from all of that gun-toting and phone-threatening, at the least we can enjoy that the Taken TV spin-off.  Kind of.

After less than stellar reviews for the first period, the Taken series will soon be showcasing a brand-new look for its next outing. Only two of its own series regulars will probably be returning for season two (Clive Standen and Jennifer Beals), and also its show time will be decreased by 16 episodes to 10. Not convinced?  At least there is that a female-led Taken lookalike in it now…
