London: 'Taken' star Liam Neeson is currently in negotiations to star in new thriller 'The All Nighter'. The 60-year-old actor has starred in a variety of hard-bitten crime thrillers in the latter part of his career.

The film will be produced by Roy Lee on behalf of Vertigo Entertainment, and Brooklyn Weaver on behalf of Warner Bros, after the studio acquired Brad Ingelsby's script 'The All Nighter' in January for a reported six-figure sum.
