On top of still being attached to star as Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg's potential Lincoln biopic, Liam Neeson has attached himself to three potentially huge upcoming pictures.

First there is the remake Clash of the Titans in which he will star as Zeus, which Entertainment Weekly revealed the images you see above of him in his armor. Clash of the Titans hits theaters on March 26, 2010.

Then there was the attachment to The A-Team directed by Joe Carnahan (Narc) in which Neeson will play the part of John 'Hannibal' Smith as originally played by George Peppard in the popular 1980s television show. Images from the set appeared online late last week as you can see pictured above. The A-Team hits theaters on June 11, 2010.

He will be seen in Atom Egoyan's much talked about Chloe next year along with After.Life and we now learn he is the latest to join the huge cast of Paul Haggis' Lionsgate thriller The Next Three Days based on the 2008 French film Pour Elle.

Variety reports Neeson will plays an ex-con in the film starring Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, RZA, Brian Dennehy, Ty Simpkins, Olivia Wilde, Jonathan Tucker, Aisha Hinds, Lennie James and Daniel Stern. Principal photography began in Pittsburgh last Friday.

The Next Three Days centers on a teacher (Crowe) whose wife (Banks) is arrested for a gruesome murder she says she didn't commit. Several years of incarceration leaves her suicidal and he plots to break her out. Neeson's character becomes involved in the effort.

Have to give this man alot of credit and admiration for throwing himself into his work and his art right after his wife's death, which I could imagine has been difficult on everyone in his family. I'm excited to see all of these projects and what ever else is next for him.
