The first movie poster for Taken 3 has been released.

In the international promotional image, Liam Neeson stands in the shadows of a '3' sign resembling the iconic Hollywood sign landmark, under a caption which translates into: "it's where everything ends".

The third-instalment of the thriller franchise will see Liam Neeson's character Bryan Mills being hunted by both European terrorists and the USgovernment.

Neeson recently confirmed that Taken 3 would be the final film in the Olivier Megaton's series.

Maggie Grace, Famke Janssen and Forest Whitaker are also lined-up to star in the action-thriller.

Taken 3 is set to hit UK cineams on 8 January, 2015.
