Liam Neeson: 'Taken 3' is the end

Actor Liam Neeson, who reprises his role as retired CIA agent Bryan Mills in the third installment of 'Taken', says this will be the final one of the series. "I have to go on the run, I'll put it that way, from the not-so-lawful types and the lawful authorities," Neeson said. "Bryan Mills served his country faithfully, but now even they are after him. They must not like me," he added. The first installment of 'Taken' starring Neeson came in 2008. What on the face of it appeared a formulaic thriller about a man travelling through Europe to find his kidnapped daughter became a blockbuster that spawned a sequel in 2012. Nevertheless, Neeson is confident that the coming movie will be his final outing as Mills. "It's a rollicking good story. But I think this is the end," he said.

'I hope my script sense is good'  Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif has given many hits like 'Dhoom 3', 'Ek Tha Tiger' and 'Raajneeti'. And the actress hopes that she is making the right choice when it comes to scripts. "Two films have not done well. Nobody has that answer. I just keep praying and hoping the record remains well. Besides destiny and blessings from god, it's good script sense and what the audience might like. I hope my script sense is good," Katrina told reporters in a group interview last week. Katrina is currently busy promoting her film 'Bang Bang!' and talking about her film, she said that it's an official remake of "Knight and Day" which is "good". "The makers were inspired by the film and even though it's just the germ of the idea they have taken, they have still done in the proper way and in the right spirit which is how it should be done," she said. "But the film is different. There are certain sequences like the motorbike one, but the story has been adapted to what Siddharth Anand (director) wanted to make," she added. The movie that also stars Hrithik Roshan is slated for Oct 2 release.

JEREMY  RENNER Doesn't Want a Hawkeye Movie?

Last week, while speaking to MTV News, Renner revealed that he doesn't really think there even needs to be a Hawkeye solo-movie: "I'm happy to be the ensemble...I'm not scratching or clawing to do a solo movie by any means. I think he's a utility guy that can bounce around into other people's universes a little bit, especially like 'Cap 3.'" He's got a busy schedule and everything, and the fan reactions to the character back in The Avengers wasn't all that positive - but are those really good enough reasons for Renner to relegate his own character to supporting status? Let's hope he changes his mind soon!
