If Liam Neeson had any need to top up his pension pot, he must have been very happy to have been cast in Taken, which has turned into an opportunity for him to get increasingly large paycheques (reportedly $20 million for Taken 3) just to run around being very angry and killing people – with not much else required on the acting front.

Last June it was revealed that Fox was developing a movie based on the Choose Your Own Adventure novels. Many people will remember them as books where you got to choose where the story would go by picking an option and turning to that page.
It’s still a couple of months until Captain America: The Winter Soldier is being released, but Marvel must be confident it’s going to be a success. It’s not that surprising that Marvel is already thinking about Captain America 3, but it certainly suggests they reckon the second instalment is shaping up to be good as they’ve already attached to directors of Winter Soldier, Joe and Anthony Russo, to helm.
