Director Pierre Morel (Taken) has recently started shooting From Paris With Love, a thriller starring John Travolta (Hairspray) and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (The Children Of Huang Shi). Written by producer Luc Besson (Taken) and Adi Hasak (Shadow Conspiracy), the story follows a young US Embassy employee who teams up with an American secret agent on a dangerous mission.
Pierre Morel’s first film District B13 (original title Banlieue 13) was all badass action and no plot, but Taken, which you should really check out, turned out to be one of the year’s best surprises, so if he continues in that vein, I’m quite looking forward to From Paris With Love, which should premiere in France by the end of 2009.
