If you were a moderately successful action film, now seems to be the time to make the jump to being a TV show. With the likes of Lethal Weapon on the way – Die Hard has to be next, right? – we’ve also got our first look at the Taken series, coming soon from NBC.
Set before the antics of the movie trilogy, Clive Standen from Vikings stars as Liam Neeson… sorry, Bryan Mills.
With a trailer no doubt on the way, we can wet our whistle with these images that have appeared online. He may be younger, but Standen strikes a familiar pose here…
Rumoured to be a modern day prequel, the show will presumably show us how Mills gets his particular set of skills. The second picture above has him standing beside co-star Jennifer Beals, who plays his mentor, the Special Deputy Director of National Intelligence.
The show is expected to air sometime around September this year, so keep an eye out for that trailer we mentioned soon.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
