Liam Neeson has been cast in the upcoming film “The Riker's Ghost”, where he will play a character forced to help a terrorist escape after his lawyer is kidnapped.
“The Riker's Ghost” is Neeson’s first film he boarded since the release of “Marlowe”, which marked his 100th movie as an actor. It also marks his reuniting with director Neil Jordan, who directed “Marlowe”.
"This is a unique take on the prison escape," Jordan said about the film. "A bare-knuckle ride from incarceration to freedom, by someone who just wants to finish his term. The reluctant escapee will be played by Liam Neeson, and I can't wait to explore this character with him."
The screenplay was written by Jordan, Sean O'Keefe, and Brian Rudnick. O'Keefe's previous work includes co-writing the 2020 action comedy film Spenser Confidential, which starred Mark Wahlberg.
The film will be produced by Alan Moloney from Parallel Films, who also produced Marlowe. "I am thrilled to be joining forces again with Neil and Liam," Moloney said.
"We have put together an elite team to support Neil's scripted and directorial vision. This one will have you on the edge of your seat." Steve Richards from Endurance Media will also be a producer, and Endurance Media will also finance the film.
