No wonder the writers are on strike.
Being forced to try to bring freshness to the same tired ideas over and over to get some studio work must be frustrating. I would be picketing Lionsgate (which is behind this movie) just because it’s really not easy making this kind of thing original. The latest ripoff — and it literally is because it comes from the 2015 Spanish film El Desconocido, which itself has been remade more than once in the past few years — is the Liam Neeson-starring Retribution. A better title might be Generic Neeson #9. I even looked up the title on IMDb just to make sure this was a new Neeson movie.
This is not to say that Regurgitation, er, I mean Retribution isn’t effectively made. Its director, the talented Nimród Antal (Control), does what he can to make Christopher Salmanpour’s (basically a TV procedural writer) by-the-numbers...

There should be an official subgenre of action films devoted to Liam Neeson saving his family. There are certainly enough movies with Neeson’s character demonstrating a particular set of skills to keep his kids alive to warrant its own category.

Joining Neeson in the action thriller are Matthew Modine, Noma Dumezweni, Jack Champion, Lilly Aspell, and Embeth Davidtz. Nimród Antal (2010’s Predator) directs from a screenplay by Christopher Salmanpour (FBI: Most Wanted), with Andrew Rona, Alex Heineman, Jaume Collet-Serra, and Juan Sola producing.

Pop quiz, hot shot: Liam Neeson has to figure out what to do when he discovers a bomb in his vehicle in the first full trailer for the film Retribution.
Director Nimród Antal’s Lionsgate release hits theaters Aug. 25 and is a remake of the 2015 Spanish-language thriller of the same name. The new version centers on Matt Turner (Neeson), who is driving with his kids when he learns from a mysterious caller that the car contains a bomb that will detonate if anyone exits the vehicle, leading to a high-speed chase throughout the city.
“Honey, something’s happened,” Neeson calmly relays in the trailer. “There’s a man who has put a bomb in the car. Under our seats, there are pressure triggers. We can’t get out. The car will explode.”
Later, the star loses his cool when the caller claims to be in control: “No, you’re not!

It’s been 15 years since Liam Neeson revitalized his career with the surprise hit Taken. And ever since, Neeson has been taking advantage of his new gruff action persona, lending his acting gravitas to action movies where he would dabble in gunplay and occasional fisticuffs. That’s not to say the Irish actor has been slumming entirely. The Academy Award-nominated actor has still been able to fit in films like Martin Scorsese’s Silence and Steve McQueen’s Widows to keep scratching his thespian itch. Now, Neeson is back in the driver’s seat in the trailer for his new action thriller, Retribution.
The official synopsis from Lionsgate reads,

In competition with other distributors, the company has acquired U.S., Canada and India distribution rights to Retribution, an action thriller from Studiocanal and The Picture Company that stars Liam Neeson.

Johannes Larcher and Luis Duran, respectively HBO Max’s general managers of international and Latin America, are set to exit the streaming service as part of the ongoing shakeup at Warner Bros. Discovery, Variety has confirmed.
The two top HBO Max execs are the latest layoffs to surface as a new leadership team is being put in place at the merged behemoth. News of their departures was shared on Thursday with staff via a company memo from Jb Perrette, the newly appointed CEO and president of Warner Bros. Discovery Global Streaming and Interactive Entertainment.
Perrette, who previously oversaw international operations for Discovery, was handed the top streaming job by Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav in April.
Larcher (pictured) joined WarnerMedia in August 2020, and had been overseeing the international rollout of HBO Max, which will mark its two-year anniversary since launching Stateside on May 27, and its one-year anniversary in Europe this spring.

At last. After a star-spangled American Film Market lineup this year was met by an initial near deafening silence from buyers, European film-tv group Studiocanal confirmed Wednesday that it has pre-sold the world, apart from the U.S. and China, on Liam Neeson action thriller “Retribution.”
A second new Studiocanal title, Working Title romantic comedy “What’s Love Got to Do With It?” with Lily James and Emma Thompson, has closed near all of Europe and Japan, also placing it among the best-selling AFM titles.
Among AFM trading, the deals add to AGC Studios’ near worldwide pre-sales on “Universe’s Most Wanted” and half the world sales sweeps for Cornerstone’s “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande,” Mister Smith’s “Lakewood” and Elle Driver’s “See For Me.” Otherwise, major AFM sales announcements, to date at least, have been few and pretty piecemeal.

Two of Europe’s most energetic high-end series producers, Spain’s Mediapro and France’s Federation Entertainment, are teaming with director Jaume Collet Serra to produce an English-language crime drama set in Ibiza.
The project marks a move into series by Collet Serra and his L.A.-based Ombra Films. Collet Serra’s movies, including Liam Neeson thrillers “Unknown,” “Non-Stop” and “The Commuter,” have earned more than $800 million worldwide and made him one of Europe’s most successful L.A.-based movie directors.
Ryan Engle, a writer on “Non-Stop,” Collet Serra’s biggest hit to date with $222.8 million in global revenue, is writing the new eight-episode drama. It will start shooting next year. Engle’s recent writing credits include Dwayne Johnson-starrer “Rampage” for Warner Bros. and the upcoming “Cowboy Ninja Viking,” with Chris Pratt, for Universal.
The new series centers on a young woman’s disappearance on the party island of Ibiza.

Wall Street executive takes his family on an explosive ride in Liam Neeson’s new action thriller Retribution.
Things are speeding up again for Liam Neeson. He's set to headline the upcoming independent thriller Retribution.

Diego Boneta ("Rock of Ages"), Ethan Peck ("The Sorcerer's Apprentice"), Nate Parker ("The Great Debaters"), Eugene Simon ("Game of Thrones") and Sung Kang ("Fast Five") are set to star in Jaume Collet-Sera's survival thriller "Eden" at Ombra Films.
A fusion of "Alive" and "Lord of the Flies," the story begins when a soccer team's plane crash lands on a deserted Pacific island.
Team spirit evaporates as disagreements cause the group to separate into factions - a violent one lead by an unbalanced ruler (Peck), and a compassionate one led by a selfless player (Parker).
Boneta plays the wildcard, a cocky player who becomes an obsessive and sadistic barbarian. Mark Mavrothalasitis penned the script. Collet-Sera, Parker, Juan Sola and Hernany Perla will produce.
Shayam Madiraju makes his feature directing debut on the project which is aiming to begin shooting next month in Malaysia.
