When A Walk Among The Tombstones was announced, it sounded like Liam Neeson would be going back into Taken mode. However this trailer suggests some a little more dramatic and interesting.

The film is ‘Based on Lawrence Block’s bestselling series of mystery novels, A Walk among the Tombstones stars Liam Neeson as Matt Scudder, an ex-NYPD cop who now works as an unlicensed private investigator operating just outside the law. When Scudder reluctantly agrees to help a heroin trafficker (Dan Stevens) hunt down the men who kidnapped and then brutally murdered his wife, the PI learns that this is not the first time these men have committed this sort of twisted crime…nor will it be the last. Blurring the lines between right and wrong, Scudder races to track the deviants through the backstreets of New York City before they kill again.’

Scott Frank (The Lookout) writes and directs, with the likes of Boyd Holbrook and Dan Stevens co-starring. [Read more…]

Ruth Wilson Takes A Walk Among the Tombstones

February 14, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ruth-wilson Just yesterday it was revealed that Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens had signed on to star opposite Liam Neeson in A Walk Among the Tombstones. Now the movie has a female lead, according to Variety, as Luther star Ruth Wilson has also joined the movie.

Neeson is set to play a former NYPD cop who now runs his own private investigation firm, which operates just outside the law in order to get results for his clients. He is hired by a drug dealer to find his kidnapped wife, which leads him to a dangerous crime ring that has committed multiple kidnappings – all of which have ended up with the death of the victim.

It isn’t known exactly who Wilson will play, although it could well be the kidnapping victim.

With two Brits and an Irishman cast, is this US set tale actually going to have any Americans in it?

Downton’s Dan Stevens Taking A Walk Among The Tombstones With Liam Neeson

February 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Dan-Stevens Those who’ve swooned over the handsome Dan Stevens in Downton Abbey will be sad to hear he’s leaving the show, but it won’t be the last they see of him, as he’s currently shooting the Julian Assange drama The Fifth Estate (alongside Benedict Cumberbatch), and now Variety reports that he’s signed on for A Walk Among The Tombstone.

Stevens will star alongside Liam Neeson in the movie, who’ll play an ex-New York cop hired to find a drug dealer’s kidnapped wife. Inevitably he discovers the story goes a lot deeper that he initially thought. This isn’t the first time the bad guys have kidnapped somebody, but all their previous victims have ended up dead.

Unfortunately there’s no news at the moment on who Stevens will play, and whether he might be dropping the clean cut image so he can get involved in drugs. Scott Frank is set to direct and write the screenplay, based on Lawrence Block’s novel.
