‘Taken’ spoof titled ‘Tooken’ in the works

There once was a time when spoof movies – not made by the Wayans brothers or harbingers of doom Friedberg/Seltzer – frequently populated cinemas.

That era looks to return with Tooken, a ‘Naked Gun-style’ spoof of Taken.

According to Deadline, production will start on the flick in the coming months.

Cameron Van Hoy and John Asher penned the screenplay. Asher will also direct.

Whether or not Key and/or Peele – the brilliant comedians who originally coined the phrase ‘Tooken’ – will be involved is unknown. But they almost definitely won’t.

Same goes for Liam Neeson.
