Trailer Time: 'Taken 2', starring Liam Neeson and Maggie Grace


Super agent Bryan Mills(Liam Neeson) has pissed off the wrong people this time. After using his "special set of skills" to take down a kidnapping ring and saving his daughter, Kim(Maggie Grace), the guys he beat the tar out of are looking for a measure of revenge, and this time they'll settle for nothing less than Bryan's entire family.

Just a few days after a new poster for Taken 2 emerged, the first trailer has been released and it doesn't look like much has changed. Bryan is still kicking butt and taking names, barking orders and making threats over the telephone while chaos ensues around him. Standing over the grave of his dead son, the father of a man Bryan killed in the last film swears vengeance. Launching their attack on Bryan and his wife(Famke Janssen) while vacationing in Istanbul, Bryan is again forced to dial up Kim to issue his ominous instructions, only this time he's counting on her to help him escape. It's a nice little twist on the previous formula, but clearly the action will still focus on how Bryan uses his wealth of bone breaking knowledge to ultimately destroy everyone in his path.

Directed by Olivier Megaton with a script by Luc Besson, Taken 2 hits theaters on October 5th. Check out the trailer below...
