The Grey

The first trailer for The Grey made it seem like someone had gotten over-excited about The Tree Of Life. It suggested the film was going to be some sort of weird, ethereal, existentialist drama. Thankfully though, that’s not what it is at all (well, it is a bit, but not too much).

Liam Neeson plays a guy whose job is to sort out the predators that occasionally menace the workers at a remote gas refinery operation in Alaska. On a plane ride with a number of other motley oil workers, things take a rather drastic turn when they fall out of the sky. Normally a plane crash would be the worst part of your day, but the men are now in the middle of nowhere and in the territory of a particularly vicious pack of wolves. [Read more…]

The Grey Red Band Trailer

By Leave a Comment


Early trailers for The Grey made it seem oddly dreamy and ethereal, but this red band trailer is upping the intensity and going for the action jugular, as Liam Neeson and co. get thrust into the wilderness and have to face off against a pack of wolves. I can already see the press releases from the wildlife charities saying wolves aren’t really the bad guys. The movie sees Liam Neeson as part of an Alaska oil drilling team who 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. The film’s out on Friday.

Wrath Of The Titans Trailer – Sam Worthington works up a sweat

By Leave a Comment


Last year they clashed and now those Titans are going to have some wrath, with Sam Worthington returning as Perseus on March 30th, 2012. The trailer for the movie has just dropped, which suggests we’re in for more of the same, with lots of derring-do, battling monsters and Liam Neeson being a God. Hopefully though this film will be a little more coherent. Quite why Sam Worthington needs his new hairdo I’m not sure, although I suppose it does make him look more like Harry Hamlin in the original 1980s Clash. Click below to take a look.

Battleship Trailer – Taylor Kitsch blows shit up!

By Leave a Comment


After the success of the Transformers franchise, it appears Hasbro feels the best way to ensure box office success is to explode everything you can (working with Michael Bay will have that effect on you). It certainly seems to be the logic in Battleship, as there’s a ridiculous amount of things blowing up and even the sound effects in this trailer are deliberately reminiscent of Tranformers. It’s looks fun though!

Certified hotties Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard and Liam Neeson star in the film, which sees a fleet of ships being forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals. Universal is hoping it’ll be huge at the box office next summer. Watch the trailer and see what you think, and we’ve got a brand new poster for the movie below. The film hits the UK April 20th.

The Grey Trailer – Liam Neeson vs. Wolves!

By Leave a Comment


It’ll be interesting to see what sort of film The Grey is, as from this trailer it looks part action film, part introspective drama and part rather pretrntious art movie. I just pray that whatever it is, the score isn’t as overbearing as it is in this trailer. The movie sees Liam Neeson as part of an Alaska oil drilling team who 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. No UK release date is currently set.

Luke Grimes Signs On For Taken 2

By Leave a Comment

It may have taken them a while to get Taken 2 ready for filming, but it’s now gearing up to shoot, and new cast members are coming on-board to join returnees Liam Neeson and Maggie Grace. The latest to sign up is Luke Grimes, according to Variety.

Grimes is probably best known for playing Ryan in TV’s Brothers & Sisters, but has also appeared in All The Boys Love Mandy Lane (which was his debut) and will soon be in The Wait and Outlaw Country. In Taken 2 he’s set to be Maggie Grace’s love interest, who gets roped into helping her when her parents are kidnapped by the father of one of the bad guys from the first movie.

Olivier Megaton is set to direct.

Rade Serbedzija Joins Taken 2

By Leave a Comment

Yesterday Fox announced an October 2012 release for Taken 2, which means they need to get a move on and put it into production if they want it in cinemas in time. They’re now closer to that as Rade Serbedzija (Batman Begins, Snatch, X-Men: First Class) has joined Liam Neeson in the kidnapping thriller, according to THR.

The Croation born actor will play Murad, the father of a kidnapper who was killed by Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) in the first film. Murad is described as a vengeful man who gives orders and doesn’t take them. Liam Neeson returns as Bryan Mills, the retired CIA agent who stopped at nothing to save his daughter Kim from Albanian kidnappers.

However things are the opposite way round this time, with Murad taking Bryan and his wife (Famke Janssen) hostage during their family vacation in Istanbul. As a result, it’s Kim’s (Maggie Grace) turn to help her parents escape.

Taken 2 comes to theaters October 5th, 2012 and stars Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace. The film is directed by Olivier Megaton.
