SEOUL (Yonhap) — Hollywood star Liam Neeson arrived in South Korea for a two-week movie shoot.

The “Taken” actor touched down on Monday and will be staying at the W Seoul Walkerhill in eastern Seoul, according to the reports.

Neeson has made several promotional trips to South Korea, but this is his first time shooting a movie here. He will be playing American general Douglas MacArthur who commanded the United Nations Command during the 1950-53 Korean War in the South Korean movie “Operation Chromite.”

On Sept. 15, 1950, the U.N. and South Korean forces captured Incheon, then held by the North, through an amphibious invasion. That invasion, known as the Battle of Incheon, saved South Korea from the brink of a Korean War defeat and played a decisive role in its victory against the North.

The movie, directed by John H. Lee, will center on a secret intelligence unit that spied on North Korea to prepare for that historic battle.
