The Grey - Did You Hear That?


The Grey
ONCE MORE INTO THE FRAY
INTO THE LAST GOOD FIGHT I'LL EVER KNOW
LIVE AND DIE ON THIS DAY
LIVE AND DIE ON THIS DAY


In THE GREY, Liam Neeson's character leads an unruly group of oil-rig roughnecks when their plane crashes into the remote Alaskan wilderness. Battling mortal injuries and merciless weather, the survivors have only a few days to escape the icy elements – and a vicious pack of rogue wolves on the hunt – before their time runs out.

From the literary classic MOBY DICK to the groundbreaking motion picture JAWS, one of the most enduring popular narratives has centered around the conflict between man and nature. Now comes an engaging new adventure about ordinary men stranded in the wilderness and pitted against impossible conditions and even more nightmarish predators. In THE GREY, set in the frozen mountains of Alaska, a pack of angry, snarling, bloodthirsty wolves are in dogged pursuit of human prey. As they pick off their helpless victims one at a time, the chances of survival for the last men standing become more and more remote.

"This is a hard-core survivalist film," says director and co-writer Joe Carnahan, whose previous hits include NARC and SMOKIN’ ACES. In THE GREY, a group of men must fight for their lives against the extreme cold and snow as well as a hungry pack of wolves protecting their den. "If you're afraid of wild animals or plane travel, this movie will put you off for a good, long time."

"The picture crosses numerous genres," says producer Jules Daly. "It's a thriller. It's a horror film. It's a character-driven drama of men struggling to survive." Based on the short story "Ghost Walker" by Ian Mackenzie Jeffers, THE GREY marks the second collaboration between Carnahan and international superstar Liam Neeson (TAKEN, STAR WARS EPISODE 1, SCHINDLER’S LIST)), who previously teamed for the 2010 action-comedy THE A-TEAM. Serving as producer and executive producer respectively on THE GREY are Ridley and Tony Scott, who were also behind THE A-TEAM.

"THE GREY triggered something very primal inside of me," says Neeson, who initially heard of the project while conducting a string of press interviews with Carnahan for THE A-TEAM in Berlin and later asked the director about the project over a lively dinner in London. After seeing the script, he quickly signed on for the lead, knowing full well that Carnahan would strive for realism by shooting on location near the sub-artic zone. "When I read the script, I was 57 years old, and the little boy inside me thought it would be great to take on such a demanding role," says Neeson. "I wanted audiences to say 'Wow, how did you guys do that?' At the same time, I was thinking, 'Jeez, can I physically do this?'"
