Director Joe Carnahan obviously enjoyed working with his A-TEAM stars, since he's reuniting with two of them.

Whoops, wait -- just one. Carnahan originally had Bradley Cooper starring in his survival tale THE GREY, but the Face Man exits, and Hannibal enters. A new plan came together, and Liam Neeson loved it.

Now it's Neeson who will star as the leader of an oil pipeline team whose plane crashes in the Alaskan wilderness, where the men face a tenacious pack of savage wolves. Carnahan previously described it as an existentialist man-versus-nature drama.

Tony and Ridley Scott's company Scott Free is producing. And while that project comes together, Carnahan still has a handful of others to consider including his Pablo Escobar drama KILLING PABLO and the adaptation of James Ellroy's WHITE JAZZ. Plus he has expressed interest in comic movies such as PREACHER and Marvel's C-lister TASKMASTER.

Extra Tidbit: Carnahan calls himself a "latent comic nerd" and had previously planned to make his comic writing debut with Marvel's Juggernaut or Taskmaster.

Would have loved to see Cooper in this, but this premise and Neeson for the lead sound just perfect.

Neeson is a good and versatile actor. He can pull it off.

The final sequence....
Liam's powers of anger and awesomeness build up so much that he is able to emit bolts of lightning from his eyes and make any wolf he glares at explode. Fuck yeah!

The Edge 2?
Joe Carnahan is a genius I never thought he could pull off the A-Teanm but somehow he did. yes, am sorry I like it for its entertaining goofiness and for its not character development, artistic direction, or what ever the film snobs were looking for.



And even though Narc eerily resembled Training Day to an extent I wouldn't mind his take on Anthony Hopkins/Alec Baldwin's The...

And even though Narc eerily resembled Training Day to an extent I wouldn't mind his take on Anthony Hopkins/Alec Baldwin's The Edge and Liam Neeson is ALWAYS fun to watch.



Bring it on!

TASKMASTER, really? There is nothing interesting about this guy. He has a skull mask and he can copy your fighting styles. Seriously, I'd rather see a 3-D MAN movie in 3-D than a TASKMASTER FLICK. JEEEEEEZZZZZZZ.....

Nobody can bring the sheer force that Neeson brings. The man just radiates manliness.

Damn if Liam Neeson ain't the red hot movie star these days. It seems either everyone is working with him or at least hoping to. I know it's been coming for a while, but "Taken" really seems to have opened up a lot of opportunities for the man. No complaints as he's often been the best part of his movies dating back to the mid-nineties.
