Liam Neeson Quiting Action Movies

http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/03/12/liam-neeson-says-hell-likely-quit-making-action-movies-in-the-next-2-years

In a fairly interview, Liam Neeson has been asked how much longer he plans to star as the action hero in thriller movies. His response: "Maybe two more years. If God spares me and I’m healthy. But after that, I’ll stop. I think." Neeson has made a handful of action films ,as of recently, such as Taken 3, Non-Stop, A Walk Among the Tombstones, and an upcoming film, Run All Night.

Although Liam is one of the more iconic thriller actors to be put up on the big screen, I absolutely respect his decision is stepping down from such heart-pumping and adrenaline rushing work. At the age of 62, it is more than appropriate for him to settle down in terms of making these kinds of movies. Despite his 'retirement'  from the genre, it most certainly is not going to render him useless as an actor. Sure, most of his work is based upon the action/thriller group, but he is a pretty phenomenal actor with lots of talent and it's very apparent in a lot of his films like Schindler's List. This has taught me that in whatever line of work you are doing, there has to be a line you have to draw when you come to a certain age, especially in film, Will he stay true to his word or will he surprise us with another action film in the next few years?

Walden Media On Board With Speilberg For The BFG

Walden Media has made the decision to help produce and finance a new DreamWorks film, The BFG, an adaptation of the 1982 children's novel by Roald Dahl that goes by the same name. The story takes place in a world where a young girl, the Queen of England and a giant known as the BFG, venture out into the world to stop the evil, man-eating giants that are scattered among the world.  Mark Rylance is said to be take the role of the BFG or Big Friendly Giant, along with newcomer, Ruby Barnhill to play as the young girl. Walden Media claims that they are "delighted to be involved with DreamWorks" and claim that Steven Spielberg is the perfect director to work with. Disney is also said to contribute to the film in term of oversees distribution.
As of recently, DreamWorks seems to impatient in terms of film production. It almost seems as if they are rushing these films out in an attempt to make a quick buck (their newest film Home being an example.) However, I do believe that this does have the potential to be a great film. Steven Spielberg has definitely proved himself to be a near-masterful director and DreamWorks actually has released above average films, making the reality of this film to be great to be a possibility. Will this film be a charmer and reel in some money or will it flop and just be another failed attempt to making a quick buck?
