Paul Haggis continues adding more big names to the cast of his thriller The Next Three Days. Ever since Haggis announced he’d be remaking the French film Pour Elle, the casting news has been pouring in. First it was Russell Crowe then Elizabeth Banks followed by Ty Simpkins, RZA and Brian Dennehy and, most recently, Olivia Wilde and Jonathan Tucker. Haggis must still have room for more because, according to Variety, there’s been another addition, Liam Neeson.
Banks plays a woman thrown in prison for a murder she didn’t commit. Her husband, played by Crowe, decides to do whatever it takes to help her escape. The odds of him springing his wife just increased exponentially because now he has a partner in crime, Neeson. Neeson’s character is an ex-con who knows a thing or two about breaking out of jail.
Filming kicked off Friday in Pittsburgh and is expected to conclude on December 12th.
