Liam Neeson and Natasha Richardson Fan Page

Last Saturday, while searching for a photo for this post, I came across an interview Liam gave in 1993 around the release of his film 'Ethan Frome'. "I read the screenplay first, then the book," Liam said in the interview. "You know, in the book, an engineer originally comes to town, but in the film, the writers made the character I play a minister. I thought that was a very good idea to tell the story of these unique people. Good story, I really like it. The screenplay was really well written and did a good job of adapting the novel." "You know, Edith Wharton actually hated the screen and stipulated in her will that none of her books should ever be filmed on silver nitrate, as was the custom at the time. But after a few years the book entered the public domain and could finally be made into a film."  For information:  It used to be standard to shoot movies on silver nitrate. However, due to its extremely high flammability a...

Photo In the third part of my series about Liam, I wrote about what is probably the most famous Christmas movie of the last (now) 22 years: "Love Actually" It's a film that I admittedly also enjoy watching in the summer. It's like a wholesome piece of "chocolate" that nourishes your soul and doesn't go straight to your hips. Actually, it's like a whole bar of chocolate divided into several smaller pieces. Many little stories are told, which ultimately come together. Besides Liam, the film also stars Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Laura Linney, Colin Firth, Martin Freeman, Keira Knightley, and many other well-known actors. One Photo, One Story  Part 3 November 08.2023 Twenty Years " Love Actually" Twenty years ago on November 7th 2003 "Love Actually" was released in cinemas.  The movie was written and directed by Richard Curtis and it's featured by ensemble cast of British actors. In addition to Liam,  Alan Rickman,  ...

Some time ago, I started a series about Liam on Facebook and Instagram. I called the series "One Photo, One Story," and I regularly posted a photo accompanied by a short story. I've now told over 260 stories about Liam's career. I'll be publishing these stories here, starting today with the first two. Each installment will feature a photo and begin with the series title, followed by the installment number, the (original) date, and the title of the current story... I'll start with Liam's first film roles from 1978 and 1979: Liam made his film debut in the 1978 adaptation of The Pilgrims Progress, directed by Ken Anderson. In this low-budget film, shot in Ireland, Liam took on several roles. Due to the production's very limited budget, in the first part, the 1678 adaptation of John Bunyan's Ronan, Liam portrayed, among others, the Evangelist and Jesus Christ in various scenes to support the protagonist, Christian. In "Christiana,...

Actually, I always wanted to write something about Liam Neeson here regularly. But over the last few months, I've found it damn hard to concentrate on the person I really appreciate as a human being.  Depression, lack of self-confidence, and self-esteem keep preventing me from continuing. I'm not feeling well...  Despite everything, I decided to write a new post again today.  I found a nice interview in a German movie magazine that Liam gave on the occasion of the premiere of premiere of his new movie "The Naked Gun" in Berlin last week.  In the interview, Liam was asked how he got the role of Frank Drebin Jr and what kind of humor makes him laugh.  In the first question, Liam was asked," Were you a fan of the original "Naked Gun" movies,  in which Leslie Nielson played the leading role?" And Liam answered," Yes, I was and I still am. I remember very well when the films came out in cinemas. I was still living in London ...

In 1997, Liam gave an interview to journalist Charlie Rose at the premiere of his film " Michael Collins " .  The two talked for an hour about Liam's Karriere , in detail about the person Michael Collins, who is one of Liam's role models, and about Neil Jordan's film about Michael Collins, in which Liam plays the leading role and about the film that took Liam's career in a different direction, "Schindler's List." The two also talked about Liam's time on Broadway.  I'll recount the interview step by step, not in chronological order, but as I present and narrate it for fans on my Liam Neeson fan page on Instagram. Here, everything is more detailed, though not perfect, and with additional information. While Liam was giving the interview to Charlie Rose in 1997, they both talked obout the collaboration between Liam and Woody Allen.  Rose said to Liam,  while listing the movies Liam had up to that point,  "You like...

 After a break of almost three months,  which I only interrupt once or twice,  I continued yesterday my little series about Liam on Instagram.  Over the past few weeks, I've been working intensively on an interview Liam gave in 1997 at the premiere of "Michael Collins" . The interview lasts about an hour and I've listened to it almost daily.  I still listen to this interview regularly because I still discover beautiful and interesting things that Liam talks about in it. The beginning, where he talks about Michael Collins, is particularly interesting, and you can see how much Liam cares about his role model.  It was and it is primarily to improve my listening comprehension of the English language and to convey the little stories Liam tells in the interview as accurately as possible. It's a very nice and interesting interview. I will not reproduce the interview in It's normal order,  but only in the passages that I wrote down when...
