   Your Name to All   
   [NEWS] Tubi adds more old movies to free

   From: YourName@YourISP.com   
      
   The article is about the "Taken" trilogy starring Liam neeson, but   
   briefly mentions two "Jurassic World" movies and two "Die Hard" movies   
   also being added.   
      
      
      
       Blockbuster Film Trilogy Will Be Streaming for Free Soon   
       --------------------------------------------------------   
       Liam Neeson's Taken trilogy, specifically Taken 1, 2, and 3,   
       will be finding its way to the free streaming service Tubi   
       soon. The ad-supported platform owned by Fox will be adding   
       more than a few action franchises to its library in February,   
       including a pair of Jurassic World films and two Die Hard   
       films. The three Taken movies have impressively grossed a   
       combined total of more than $900 million at the box office.   
      
       Liam Neeson's Taken 1, 2, and 3 will be on Tubi next month   
       Taken 1, 2, and 3 is heading to Tubi starting on February 1,   
       2026.   
      
       These three Taken films can be found on other paid services,   
       like YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, and   
       Fandango. So it's great that viewers will be able to watch   
       the trilogy for free soon.   
      
       The original 2009 Taken film, directed by Pierre Morel, stars   
       Liam Neeson as retired CIA operative Bryan Mills as he   
       attempts to save his teenage daughter, Kim, from a group of   
       smugglers. Changing the director to Oliver Megaton, the 2012   
       sequel Taken 2 sees a mafia boss attempt to capture Mills for   
       murdering his son in the first film. The final movie in the   
       trilogy, Taken 3, has Mills attempt to clear his name after   
       being framed for killing his ex-wife as he is being chased by   
       U.S. law enforcement.   
      
       Morel, in a 2023 interview with ComingSoon, reflected on the   
       legacy of the Taken franchise and believes that it started the   
       trend of action films using actors not typically known for the   
       genre.   
      
       He explaiend, "I think one thing that changed with Taken and   
       for other actors is that you would not employ action hero   
       actors to make action, but people who come from different   
       things. Things have changed from that point on."   
      
       In early 2025, a viral trailer for Taken 4 began circulating   
       online, but it turned out being fake concept trailer made by   
       fans.
