Liam Neeson Breaks Out Of Jail For THREE DAYS

It’s been one helluva weekend, but time to get back to business shall we?! The great Liam Neeson who can be seen in the set photo above playing Hannibal Smith in THE A-TEAM movie has signed on to star in THE NEXT THREE DAYS. According to Variety, Neeson joined the cast of the Lionsgate thriller, adapted and directed by Paul Haggis (Crash) already starring Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, Brian Dennehy, Lennie James, Olivia Wilde, Aisha Hinds (HBO’s True Blood), Daniel Stern (Whip It) and Jonathan Tucker.

Based on an English remake of the 2008 French film Pour Elle directed by Fred Cavaye. In the movie, Crowe will play a husband, a teacher whose wife (Banks) gets arrested for a murder she said she didn’t commit. The happy uneventful married couple got their world shaken and she got sentenced to 20 years in prison. He loves her so much, he’s willing to bust her out of there.
Wilde will play a young mother who befriends the husband while Tucker will play a street tough running a meth lab.
Neeson plays the mentor, an ex-con who has broken out of jail multiple times, has written a book about it, and shows Crowe how it’s done. They couldn’t have cast a better man to do the job.
