The long-awaited sequel to Taken 2 finally has an official release date: January 9th, 2014.

After much speculation about the future of Bryan Mills (played by Liam Neeson), fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing they won't have to wait too much longer for more action-packed thrills. The third installment in this successful franchise promises even more heart-pumping suspense as our hero faces off against new and formidable foes.

In an exclusive interview, director Olivier Marchal teased about what's coming next: 'We're taking things up a notch with Taken 3,' he revealed cryptically without giving away too much information regarding plot details. But rest assured that when the film hits screens worldwide on January 8th in some countries (January 9th elsewhere), audiences will be treated to an adrenaline-fueled ride they won't soon forget!

In related news, there have been rumors circulating about a possible spin-off movie set within this universe - though nothing has officially been confirmed by Lionsgate Studios yet. Until then, let's focus on what we do know: Taken 3 is coming early next year and it promises to deliver plenty of action-packed excitement for fans worldwide!
