Indeed, the man everyone in Hollywood knows and loves as Marty has called upon Liam Neeson to star in his long-gestating adaptation of Shûsaku Endô’s Silence.
The 1966 novel centers on a group of persecuted Jesuit missionaries in Japan in the 17th century.
It’s quite a change of pace for Neeson, who lately has been kicking ass in the Taken movies (Taken 3 is a go, btw, with Forest Whitaker joining in on the fun), and who next will be seen in this month’s Non-Stop and in this summer’s Seth MacFarlane A Million Ways to Dies in the West.
I guess somebody misses the scent of awards bait….
