Liam Neeson in talks to join Seth McFarlane’s ‘A Million Ways to Die in the West’
Irish actor Liam Neeson is currently in negotiations to join the Media Rights Capital produced comedy western ‘A Million Ways to Die in the West’. Charlize Theron, Giovanni Ribisi, and Amanda Seyfried have all signed on to star in the Seth McFarlane-penned comedy, in which McFarlane himself will play the lead role.

The story follows a cowardly sheep farmer (McFarlane) whose girlfriend (Seyfried) leaves him for another man. When a mysterious woman (Theron) befriends the farmer, she helps him find his courage. Matters become complicated however, when the woman’s outlaw husband arrives on the scene to reclaim his wife. Neeson would play the party of the violent outlaw.
