Taken 3?
After the huge success on opening weekend for Taken 2 starring Liam Neeson, it appears FOX are requesting another film to be made to keep the franchise alive. Their motives are clearly financial as they stated that they ''looked at the numbers'' and thought another sequel would be a good idea. Neeson already stated over the weekend that he didn't think a third would happen and that this was the first and only sequel to the cult hero that was the first movie.
The issue with looking at the numbers for the second film is that people will always give it a chance after the first film became so popular, I'm not sure that is the case after the second movie that has opened to pretty poor reviews. I certainly won't feel compelled to go and see a third movie after the second was so laughably bad. The screenwriters said that a third movie would see a completely different format from the first two as that plot has gone as far as it possibly can, to be honest the whole franchise has gone as far as it can. The second film seemed like a cynical film only made to plump up the bank accounts of everyone involved.
