Twentieth Century Fox and Yahoo Movies have just revealed the first international trailer for
Taken 2. Director Olivier Megaton's follow-up to the 2009 sleeper hit
Taken, this films finds star Liam Neeson (
The Grey) reprising his role as Bryan Mills, a fearsome ex-CIA operative.
In the first film, Mills had to rescue his teenage daughter Kim (Maggie Grace,
Lost) from a network of European human traffickers.
Taken 2 reverses that equation; associates of the criminals that Mills killed tracking his daughter now hold Mills hostage, and only Kim and Mills' former CIA partners (Leland Orser,
Saving Private Ryan, Jon Gries,
Napoleon Dynamite, and David Warshofsky,
Unstoppable) can get him back.
Taken 2's U.S. release date is scheduled for October 5th.
