After three installments, the "Taken" trilogy seems like it will come to an end in January.

After the trailer release of "Taken 3," Neeson told contactmusic.com that this installment would be his last. In the latest film, he will reprise his role as retired CIA agent Bryan Mills and said, "I have to go on the run, I'll put it that way, from the not-so-lawful types and the lawful authorities. ... Bryan Mills (his character) served his country faithfully, but now even they are after him. They must not like me."

Neeson said that new installment is likely to be a big hit: "It's a rollicking good story. But I think this is the end."

The trailer to the latest installment looks action packed like the last ones, and it will add an Oscar winning actor. Forest Whitaker, who is best known for "The Last King of Scotland," told USA Today that it was a interesting tale.

"People are attracted to quiet heroes.  Liam's presence has that. He gives people a sense of comfort and security. And he's an excellent actor," Whitaker said. 

While Whitaker will be involved in the project, the two actors will never directly battle each other.

"There's no big fight between us, which I would have loved," Whitaker said. Unlike Neeson who said it was his last, Whitaker hinted there would be a fourth, and that will be when the two battle each other.

"That will have to wait until 'Taken 4.'"

Neeson has become an action icon and a box office draw. This past year he starred in "A Walk Among the Tombstones," and in February he was seen in the hit film "Non-Stop." The actor has also been seen in "A Million Ways to Die in the West," "Battleship," "The A-Team" and "The Next Three Days." Next year he slated to be in one more action film "Run all Night" and will switch gears for Martin Scorsese's latest film "Silence." That film will see him in a dramatic turn.

The first "Taken" film was seen in 2009 and became a box office making over $145 million and $226 million worldwide. Originally, it was supposed to be a lone film, but the success spawned a sequel that was equally profitable. That movie made $139 million and over $376 million worldwide. Three years after "Taken 2," Fox hopes the new installment will be equally profitable.

Directed by Olivier Megaton, the film tells the story of an ex-government operative Bryan Mills who finds his life is shattered when he's falsely accused of a murder that hits close to home. As he's pursued by a savvy police inspector, Mills employs his particular set of skills to track the real killer and exact his unique brand of justice. The movie also stars Maggie Grace, Famke Janssen and Dougray Scott.
