Variety has just announced that Liam Neeson is set to star in the drama Taken for director Pierre Morel and written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen.

The pic finds Neeson playing an an ex-soldier whose daughter is kidnapped by slave masters while traveling in Europe. The soldier must track her down before she's shipped off and lost forever.

This is not the only upcoming picture for the Irish actor who is set to topline Steven Spielbergs biopic Lincoln about the U.S. president and the Civil War, based on the Doris Kearns Goodwin book. However, the plans for that film seem to have been pushed as Spielberg has an eye on getting started with Indiana Jones IV.

As for Neeson's voice, that will again be heard in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian as the voice of the lion Aslan.

Want another Neeson pic? Check him out with fellow Irishman Pierce Brosnan in Seraphim Falls on January 26.
