Liam Neeson is set to star in another action thriller, and this time he’ll be playing a gangster! The movie is titled Thug, and it’s being helmed by Cold Pursuit director Hans Petter Moland. Tony Gayton wrote the screenplay.

The story revolves around “an aging San Pedro gangster (Neeson) who attempts to reconnect with his children and rectify the mistakes in his past, but the criminal underworld won’t loosen their grip willingly.”

Producer Warren Goz said in a statement, “We are excited to work with Liam again with whom we had an amazing experience personally, creatively and commercially on The Marksman. We’re also excited to work with Hans who is fast becoming recognized as one of the top action directors. We additionally are very much looking forward to partnering with Roger and Michael who have a marvelous track record of creative and commercial success.”

He seems to be enjoying this ride, and audiences enjoy what he’s doing, which is why he keeps making these films.
