Deadline is reporting that Liam Neeson has added a new action project to his upcoming slate, with the Irish actor signing on for a remake of the hit 2014 Norwegian film In Order of Disappearance.
The project will be directed by Hans Petter Molland from a script by Frank Baldwin, and will see Neeson taking on the Stellan Skarsgard role as “snowplow driver who doesn’t get worked up about much, until his son is murdered and it is made to look like an overdose, by criminals involved in drug deals. It turns the mild-mannered man’s attention from snow to body removal and becomes a tense action thriller with Dirty Harry-esque intensity, where bad guys pile up like snow drifts when the killers suspect a rival gang.”
Neeson will next be seen in J.A. Bayona’s A Monster Calls, which is out in October, followed by Martin Scorsese’s Silence in November. He is also about to start shooting the spy thriller Felt, and is also attached to play Douglas MacArthur in the war drama Operation Chromite.
