“Taken 3” Korean Theatrical Poster
Underrated action director Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, The Foreigner) is calling Liam Neeson (Taken franchise) back into action with Memory, which will be based on the 2003 Dutch film The Memory of a Killer.
Penning the film is writer/producer, who is perhaps best known for his work on Marvel’s The Punisher series.
Neeson will play an expert assassin with a reputation for discreet precision who, when he refuses to complete a job for a dangerous criminal organization, becomes a target and must go on the hunt for those who want him dead (via Deadline).
Memory is scheduled to shoot in August. For now, here’s the Trailer to 2003’s The Memory of a Killer:
Memory of a Killer was a good movie. I’m surprised it took this long for Hollywood to remake it. It’ll be interesting to see how the new version differs since there’s so much you can do with the concept of a hitman with Alzheimer’s.
