After the release of Hurricane Rescue 3, Liam Neeson said he planned not to take action thrillers anymore.
But that was six years ago. And, Liam Neeson didn't do that.
It is precisely because of the many "rescue" movies that Liam Neeson's acting career has a second spring, saving his daughter and saving his wife, saving his wife and saving his friends, becoming the most popular uncle-level filmmaker.
After the end of the Brian Mills trilogy, Neeson has starred in "Night Vengeance," "Commuter Rescue," "Cold-Blooded Pursuit," and "Gold Rush Rescue" over the past few years.
The plots of all these films are roughly similar, and the characters are similar.
Not only that, but the 68-year-old Neeson's action movie "Sharpshooter" has been released recently. Meanwhile, Ice Road Rescue is in post-production.
Still, in a recent interview, the Oscar-nominated actor again claimed he was tired of action movies, saying he was too old to run.
However, according to the information on Douban, his film has been scheduled for 2025.
Liam Neeson also admits that he has a few more films to make, which means that we will not see his finale for the time being, and by then, he may be in his 70s.
Speaking of which, Stallone is five years older than Neeson and still makes regular action movies.
Maybe Neeson was serious this time, though.
Unless, of course, he's pulled back into Star Wars again. Neeson has said he would be more than happy to play Qui-Gon King again if he had the chance.
Do you want Neeson to make a "rescue" movie, or to play Qui-Gon King?
