From one A-Team cast member to another. A few months ago, director Joe Carnahan was busy sorting through the numerous projects he had in development, which were being readied for after he finished the A-Team movie, and settled on The Grey, which at the time had Bradley Cooper attached to the lead role.
However with Cooper’s dance card full to bursting, it looks like he’s stepped aside and Carnahan has gone from Faceman to Hannibal, lining up Liam Neeson for the main role in the movie instead. According to THR, ‘the story begins after a plane goes down in Alaska, with a man (Neeson) and his oil drilling team… struggling to survive in the wild. The men come under attack by large, vicious, aggressive wolves who see the humans as intruders who must be killed.’
Carnahan has previously said that ‘It’s very much a man vs. nature adventure, existentialist kind of drama that I want to do.’ And if Carnahan can go back to the tension of the likes of Narc rather than the runaway camera of A-Team, it could be quite a film.
