"Taken" star Liam Neeson has signed on to star in the action thriller "Memory" directed by Martin Campbell ("Casino Royale"). The film is based on the 2003 Dutch film "The Memory of a Killer", and the adaptation is penned by Dario Scardapane ("The Bridge", Netflix's "The Punisher").
Neeson will star as an expert assassin who himself becomes a target when he refuses to complete a job for a dangerous criminal organization. The FBI is also on his tail, forcing the assassin to call on his exceptional skills to stay one step ahead. Production begins in August.
The film will be produced by Academy Award winner Cathy Schulman ("Crash"), Rupert Maconick and Arthur Sarkissian. Teddy Schwarzman ("The Imitation Game"), Michael Heimler ("I Carry You With Me") and Ben Stillman ("Gold") will executive produce. STX International will handle sales rights, while CAA Media Finance will handle North American distribution rights.
