Liam Neeson says he has received letters from Americans put off by the thought of traveling to Europe after watching the Taken franchise that has hostage taking as its core theme. Speaking on The Graham Norton Show, Neeson said: “Just the other day I got a letter from a school teacher in Texas who had tried to take 60 students to Europe and the families of 40 of them got the kids out of it because they had seen Taken 2.”
