Olivier Megaton talks Taken 2

Hot off of Colombiana, director Olivier Megaton talks Taken 2, and what to expect…meaning just pure bad-assness. Filming should begin in October.

“The story is not the story you’re waiting for, because it’s totally different. Maggie [Grace] has a huge, huge part in this movie, and then that was the really interesting thing….The real challenge was to make her like Zoe in Colombiana,” he said. “I don’t want to be the specialist of girl action heroes, but that is the real point of me taking Taken 2.”

“Liam will be all throughout the movie like he is – the same bad ass – and maybe a little more human. But Maggie will exist, because she was not really existing in the first one. She was the victim, so we were tracking her. But really she will be there in this one.”

“As everybody is waiting for the minimum, we have to be more clever,” he said. “So Liam is going to be there like he was, but even better. But it’s a little tricky because Liam already did Taken 2 with Unknown, even if it’s not the same story. It’s not far from the same kind of thing, with a secret agent; they took everything and tried to make this movie with it. But whatever.”
