Liam Neeson is set to star in new thril♕ler In the Land of Saints and Sinners, reports.

Set in a remote Irish village, Neeson w༒ill play a newly retired assassin who finds himself drawn into a lethal game of cat and mouse with a trio of vengeful terrorists. Ciarán Hi♓nds, who recently appeared in Kenneth Branagh's Belfast, will also star, and filming is due to start in Ireland in March 2022. 

The movie will see Neeson re-team with director Robert Lorenz – he previously helmed The Marksman,🃏 which Neeson starred in earlier this year. He played a rancher and former marine in Arizona who must help ཧa young boy escape a Mexican drug cartel. Lorenz has also frequently collaborated with Clint Eastwood, producing movies including American Sniper, Jersey Boys, and Mystic River.

The actor's recent projects released in the past year include action thrillers The Ice Road and Honest Thief, as well as the comedy drama Made in Italy, in which he starred alongside h🎀is son, Micheál Richardson. Neeson is a mainstay of the action thriller genre and he's well-known for his roles in the Taken movies. 

His other upcoming projects also slot into that category – he's due to star in Blacklight alongside The Umbrella Academy's Eඣmmy Raver-Lampman, Memory alongside Guy Pearce and Mon🅠ica Bellucci, and Retribution with Matthew Modine. There's no rest for the Neeson, it seems.
