What you may need to know:
1. Liam Neeson turned 62 over the weekend. With each passing year, he
gets badassier.
2. A Walk… is based on the novel by Lawrence Block. There are over a dozen novels in Block’s Matthew Scudder series. We smell franchise opportunities.
3. How awesome is Liam Neeson? He walked away from the A Million Ways To
Die In The West (2014) with his dignity fully intact, that’s how awesome Liam Neeson is.
4. How awesome is Liam Neeson? He’s a jedi, he trained Batman, has been Oskar Schindler, Darkman, Zeus, Michael Collins and Aslan (the lion, as opposed to the band), and as a young man played one game for Bohemians FC, as a sub in a match against Shamrock Rovers, that’s how awesome Liam Neeson is. And don’t even get us started on The Lego Movie (2014).
5. He is currently filming Taken 3 (2015). There will be punching. Oh yes.

Good luck with that.
