When I spoke with Joe Carnahan about The Grey last year as excited as he was about animatronic wolves, really he just seemed nervous about how damn cold he knew it was going to be. Watching the new trailer that just popped up on Yahoo, I can see why. It looks like one cold movie…
In Alaska, an oil drilling team struggle to survive after a plane crash strands them in the wild. Hunting the humans are a pack of wolves who see them as intruders.
It’s also looks like a potentially awesome men-against-the-elements flick, that will at some point feature Liam Neeson fighting a wolf with broken-bottle hands. Like a kid playing Wolverine with butter knives between his knuckles, Liam has fashioned quite the defense weapon…
I like the look of the film, and I love the cut of the trailer so this will be a fun winter-month movie. It debuts on January 27th, and since we’re already starting to feel a chill in GA, I’ll expect to be more than used to bundling up by then.

The Twilight Saga wants its wolves back.
I can’t wait to see this. Script was a great, tough read. Hoping Carnahan knocks it out of the park.
I actually forgot to mention that I thought they looked pretty good in the brief glimpses we got. More excited to see if any animatronic work made it through though.
I can’t help it but when I read “Liam Neeson is going to fist fight…” I got excited. 🙂
Not only is this a fantastic script, but it looks like Carnahan really nailed it. Inside sources assure me that he did, so this one just went to the top of my “can’t wait” list. And c’mon… broken bottle knuckles… How freaking cool is that!!
Taken! With Wolves!
I’ll see anything with Liam in it. I imagine that’s what you have to do with wolves. Just bear down and attack. Maybe they’ll run away. Either way, you’re pretty screwed…unless you’re Liam Neeson, of course.
Cut to Neeson at a campfire, chewing on a wolf drumstick.
Wow.

Hi guys! My name is James and I’m actually helping Open Road get out the word about The Grey – glad to see so much interest in the film here! If you like the idea of Liam dusting off his glass knuckles, we just released an exclusive screenshot on the film’s Twitter profile yesterday which might be highly relevant to your interests:
