Oliver Megaton Is Readying Sci-Fi 'Spartacus' Tale, THE CHAMPION

Let’s get one thing straight here: Oliver Megaton can’t direct action. Can. Not. Direct. Action. Believe me. Yes. Me, and anyone who has tried to keep up with this man’s editing tomfoolery as seen in such films like Taken 2 and Taken 3 only to end up with an ocular aneurysm all because our dear film auteur decides to use every single angle with as many cuts as possible for a single stunt. It’s the kind of thing that strikes a major chord for anyone critical of how action is depicted on film, be it fans or other film professionals in general, and personally, this isn’t necessarily to say that Transporter 3 wasn’t a fun ride in 2008, and it certainly had its moments. However, there’s no question that Megaton’s approach to directing action is much ado with folks observing and he has CLEARLY lost his way ever since. On […]

TAK3N Contest: Get Endorsed By Bryan Mills For The Holidays!

Lee B. Golden III

Six years, two films and nearly six-hundred million dollars in, 20th Century Fox is rolling out an awesome campaign ahead of the release of Tak3n, the third installment of the hit franchise. Director Oliver Megaton is back at the helm with a mix of returning and new stars led by seasoned action hero Liam Neeson in what is expected to be one of the most celebrated finales for any franchise for anyone who thoroughly enjoyed the first film as much as the next one. Point in fact, it is the very nature of the success of the first and second films that have materialized Neeson as a leading face of cinematic badassery, and the memes you’ll find online are all the proof you need. In essence, he’s built a cult following, and I won’t be surprised if the studio finds a way to carry this character over with either a […]

The New Trailer For TAK3N Promises A Little Less Of The Same And A Lot More!

Lee B. Golden III

Just when former C.I.A. agent Bryan Mills thought his old life over, he is forced back into the field. It’s a familiar plot as he’s faced this twice in the first two installment of the Liam Neeson led action-packed Taken trilogy dealing with rescuing his wife and daughter from international criminals and dealing with corrupt cops on one level or another. The second one didn’t fare critically well, but it succeeded commercially enough to push for a third outing to which Neeson agreed to partake, and only on the count that no one got kidnapped again. Well, the crew behind this epic finale has figured a way around that end with a gripping new twist for the upcoming release of Tak3n that keeps the franchise fresh and sounds like a promising finish to a memorable franchise. SYNOPSIS: Liam Neeson returns as ex-covert operative Bryan Mills, whose reconciliation with his ex-wife […]
