We spoke w/ LiamNeeson about Marlowe, playing the hard-boiled private detective, SethMacFarlane's ‘The Naked Gun’ reboot, and other future projects.
For Liam Neeson’s 100th film, the Academy Award-nominee will join the esteemed list of actors to portray private detective, Philip Marlowe, in filmmaker Neil Jordan’s upcoming crime thriller, Marlowe. From his earliest days on the theater stage to his numerous roles across various genres, Neeson is now a household name in Hollywood.
COLLIDER: I definitely have to ask, is Naked Gun going to be in your future? Is that something that might actually happen? NEESON: I mean, if I go back to being a child many, many years ago in the North of Ireland, Sunday afternoon watching film noir, I remember, especially [Humphrey] Bogart, The Big Sleep I think it was, and I was intrigued. I couldn't, at that age, follow the stories, but there was something magical about it, you know? Shadowy figures, murky, shady characters, and stuff that really attracted me.
I think, from the original script that Bill had done – I'm sure you know it's based on The Black Eyed Blonde by John Banville, a wonderful writer, Irish – I think Bill had set in the 1950s, or the novel was set in the 1950s, forgive me. But Neil wanted to play with the ‘30s and bring Hollywood into it, you know, 1938, ‘39.
I'm a big fan of Colm Meaney, and you got to work with him on this, and I think you're working with him in In the Land of Saints and Sinners.Yeah, I'm a big fan of his work. I first saw him on Star Trek. So can you talk a little bit about working with him? Because he comes across as a very no-nonsense guy.
