The internet meme generator would probably go on overdrive if the "Taken" prequel series finally goes into production and released for the boob tube. If you were hiding inside a dark cave when the first of the "Taken" movies got released in 2008, then you wouldn't understand about the buzz generated for the TV series. "Taken" is what probably is Liam Neeson's most remembered movie when it became a surprise hit and turned him into an unlikely 6- year old action star.

Last week, NBC ordered production for the "Taken" prequel series, with Luc Besson's EuropaCorp., the owner of the "Taken" franchise teaming up with  Universal TV for co-production. For this series, the character played by Neeson, Bryan Mills, is still a young man with no wife and no daughter to kidnap.

Being one of the most quotable movies, the TV series will take off from a line from the movie in which Mills says, “What I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career; Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.” The TV series will be about how the young Mills was able to acquire those skills which eventually shaped the man he is in the "Taken" movies. You would rightly assume that the show will be based on the "past" but you will be surprised that this is going to be set on "modern times".

Before everyone gets excited, we still do not have a idea when the series will be released since they are still in search of a writer and will have to announce the cast. What everybody will be interested in is who will play the young Bryan Mills.

We just hope they get the right writer for the prequel as we know that a lot of airsoft players are fan of the movies and waiting for more quotes to use if the series will come out fine as the movies.
