Wisconsin Man Behind Liam Neeson s New Film âThe Marksmanâ

MADISON, Wis.â A Madison man is behind the top box-office hit in America, The Marksman, starring Liam Neeson.
Chris Charles and his writing partner, Danny Kravitz, began the screenplay about a decade ago. Charles spent many years writing in his parentâs Sun Prairie basementâ until Hollywood came calling. He says the flick is a special thriller that turns into a sincere father-son relationship. The Marksman is about a rancher on the Arizona-Mexico border who becomes the unlikely defender of a young Mexican boy fleeing cartel assassins. But in a nutshell, it s sort of like Gran Torino meets No Country for Old Men for fans of that genre, Charles says.
