French filmmaker Luc Besson likes to work with the same people, which is why writer Robert Mark Kamen cannot be happier about being part of almost every Besson projects, including "The Fifth Element," "The Transporter" films and "Taken." "I get to work with the world's greatest filmmaker without ever worrying about being replaced," he told the LA Times. "I feel like I died and went to writer's heaven, which is a place where you don't get rewritten and you can always get a three-star meal. It doesn't get any better than that."

And with the way things are going, there is no reason for Besson to worry about rewrites or finding other writers. "Transporter 3" grossed almost $100 million worldwide and "Taken" has already earned almost $200 million after only five weeks in theaters. So what's next for the Besson/Kamen team? Apparently, the duo are currently planning a sequel to "Taken" and an American version of "District B13," which is similar to "Escape from New York," only with a lot more parkour.

There was a really funny thread on IMDB about what to call the sequel. My favorites were:

2aken

Took

Look Who's Taken

I'm all for a Taken 2, although I certainly hope someone other than his daughter gets kidnapped because twice in a row the same victim would be a little excessive. ;)

I'm down for some more Liam Neeson asskickery.

Hell, add Jason Statham to the mix as the baad guy.

Taken 2 should begin IMMEDIATELY after Taken ends with the bad guys getting revenge.

Am I the only one that finds this funny? I hope they are joking about this. The end of Taken was perfect. Who are the baddies gonna kidnap this time? His ex-wife? Wait let me guess..his daughter again? If this gets made Im not seeing it, even if it does have Liam Neeson kicking ass again

They could just have him come out of retirement too, not necessarily recycle the kidnap thing. Either way this is great news.

Famke Janssen tied up and ready for the sex trade business? I'm in for a sequel!
