Taken Sequel to Begin Shooting in October

The sequel to "Taken", the hit action film starring Liam Neeson, will begin filming earlier than they thought; they will begin in October.

The film will be directed by Olivier Megaton along with Luc Besson producing. The original cast will be returning, which includes Neeson, along with Maggie Grace and Famke Janssen.

While most of the film will be shot outside of the United States, locations are being scouted in LA as well.
