According to AFS, a Chinese remake of 2008’s Taken is on the way, with Sun Honglei (Drug War) replacing Liam Neeson as the father with a very particular set of skills.
Oddly enough, news of the Taken remake comes only a week after it was announced that Honglei would star in a remake of Ryoo Seung-wan’s Veteran, playing the lead role originally performed by Hwang Jeong-min (The Wailing).
The original Taken, which was helmed by Pierre Morel (From Paris with Love), followed a retired CIA agent (Neeson) who travels across Europe to save his kidnapped daughter.
As always, we’ll keep you updated as we hear more!
