Will "a very particular set of skills" work just as well on the small screen?
"Taken" is getting the reboot and prequel treatment and headed to NBC, a source told Access Hollywood.
The network gave a straight-to-series order based on the 2008 hit Liam Neeson movie.
Details on a cast, writers or a showrunner and series premiere date have yet to be revealed
The first "Taken" pulled in a whopping $145 million at the box office and spawned two successful sequels in 2012 and 2014.
