Liam Neeson Joins Zachary Levi Action-Thriller ‘Hotel Tehran’
variety.comBrent Lang Executive Editor Liam Neeson is checking into “Hotel Tehran.” The Oscar-winner turned on-screen avenging angel is joining the previously announced Zachary Levi in the new action-thriller from Guy Moshe.
Cameras will start rolling in late summer. The rest of the ensemble will be cast in the coming weeks. “I’m thrilled to welcome Liam Neeson to ‘Hotel Tehran,'” Moshe said. “He is a true thespian and an icon in our industry.
The character he plays, Larry, is complex, irreverent, and inspired by real people. I know his fans around the world will relish seeing him inhabit this distinct role and I can’t wait to be there to capture it.” Neeson was initially best known for his work in serious-minded dramas such as “Schindler’s List” and “Kinsey,” but he’s become an action icon since “Taken” took the box office by storm in 2008.
His work in the genre includes roles in “The Grey” and “Non-Stop.” In a change of pace, Neeson will next star in the reboot of “The Naked Gun,” which is set for a 2025 summer release.
