New Theatrical Trailer For THE GREY!
Nordling here.
Or as I like to call it, WOLFPUNCHER. Come on, you'd see a movie called WOLFPUNCHER, especially if it stars Liam Neeson punching wolves. I'm seriously excited for this movie. It looks frightening, intense, and I love Joe Carnahan's work so far. So I'm on it. THE GREY opens January 27th, and that can't get here soon enough.
Granted, this trailer doesn't have a lot of WOLFPUNCHING, but wouldn't you rather wait to see that when you see the movie? Sure you would.
Let the WOLFPUNCHING begin this January. Nordling, out.

....and to think he was once going to play Lincoln. God, just how sad IS his career becoming.....?
-
Wow, that actually looks fun.

Never, ever, take off your coat, boots, gloves, and hat when you get on an airplane in a movie. You never know if you're gonna be the one to survive the crash in the middle of nowhere. Also, be sure to pack a satellite phone.
-
If you're just going to the theater on a whim and see "The Grey" listed, you might think it's about the Civil War or aliens. Or a band or Union soldiers fighting The Grey who turn out to be gray aliens.

Will we ever see the feature length version of Segal's Cockpuncher?
-
I got glass claws and I know how to use em

He has a really strong wrist for snapping wolfs necks... and a lisp

...if lardbucket Favreau hadn't fucked up Cowboys & Aliens, ensuring that genre mashups won't get a green light again for a decade or so, you'd be sitting on a moneymaker there.

Is it wrong of me to want the Wolves to fuck them up big time! lol
by cameron
Wild wolves do not hunt alone and are only seperated from the pack if injured or too old to keep up so 'taking them on 1 at a time' is pure hollywood fantasy. Also Wolves, like most other animals, avoid contact with humans whereever possible. It looks nice though with some great cinimatography.
-
Seriously though, looks great.
-
Those fucking ice wolves. grrrrr.
-
Seems like it's shot with natural lighting on location, it makes you believe the environment. Makes you feel transported to the situation. Imagine if there was studio lighting or worse... green screen.
-
SHIT! But Neeson owns. . . Maybe I'll give this a watch.

Love wilderness adventures like 'The Edge'. Where is Grizzly film 'Red Machine'?

They might not hunt alone but they do sometimes only hunt in twos.

i think neeson is making movies that he enjoys being in now..
by paul burnett
..fair play guvnor.
-
I don't say this often but; haters be damned. You got Neeson vs Nature, a pack of men vs a pack of wolves. It's about survival of the fittest and group dynamics. It's downright primal. Love it.
-
Or should I type werewolves? ...because, ya know, real world wolves don't really behave in this manner unless they're rabid. These writers have seen and/or read too many fairy tales.
-
Definitely need to be rated-r, I kinda just assumed it would be. If it's PG-13, fuhgeddaboudit.

and it was FUCKING brilliant.

WOLFPUNCHER IN 3D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

....is all Liam Neeson

Looks like he is going to ape what De Niro did from 2000-2010, going for the buck, script be damned.

by openthepodbaydoorshal
size each up and then charge at each other? Ooookay....

This movie looks to to be fantastic. Got a Pitch Black vibe to it, I will be seeing this.
-
Will be sad seeing morons in Alaska using this movie as proof to hunt actual wolves. Fucking hill people.

BURNDOWNTINSELTOWN! SHUTUP! YOU ARE STUPID! AND YOU DON'T LIKE STUFF THAT IS COOL!
by Particularly Hard Vato
Don't say things like that! Punching wolves is cool! Liam Neeson is doing cool shit when he punches wolves- or people- or whatever! Don't insult Liam Neeson!!!! PUNCHING WOLVES IS THE COOLEST THING HE IS EVER GOING TO DO AND YOU CANNOT REFUTE THAT!!!
-
Dec. 2, 2011, 2:40 p.m. CST
well, actually- being Ras al Ghul was the coolest thing ever
by Particularly Hard Vato
And Taken where he killed those bad guys. But punching wolves is still up there!

Goddamn airlines losing pets

You know if you put a pin on a leaf in water..blah blah blah

...cause then we'd get the "wolves aren't mean. They're just misunderstood" schtick. It would turn into Liam and Co. deciding to get the wolves acclimated to their presence, slowly, but surely. There's be the tentative moments of first contact, the warm glow after the first wolf eats from their hands, and eventually, Liam would even get to watch over the cubs in the den while Mama Wolf goes hunting. In the end, the wolves would help them find their way back home, but more importantly, they'd find their way to a true understanding of themselves and all humanity. They'd see that we're all sharing this planet together, each species in some way connected to the other, each one equally worthy of honor and respect.
-
Liam and the gang never make any radio contact, never see any signs of a rescue mission. After a long, grueling struggle in which at least three of the crew are eaten alive, the survivors fight and claw their way back to civilization, only to discover that the plane crash happened because they flew through a rift in time/space, and they're now on a version of Earth that is controlled by intelligent wolves and humans are their vassals. I thought of that all by myself.
-
I'll buy that for a dollar!

Funniest thing Nordling's ever said....

This looks like an arctic remake of Sands Of The Kalahari
by SnootyBoots
With wolves substituting for baboons. Also, wolves do not attack people. Fact.
-
Use that ending and write your own script. Get the rights to the title WOLFPUNCHER. Sell it to Hollywood.
-
And every other prepubescent numptie who is "seriously excited" about this movie.

=hyperboil=? seriously? now the fucking plants can't even spell correctly
by Wookie_Weed
or the studios are hiring talkbackers to plant for them.
-
Great idea. And while we're on the topic of endings for a movie called WOLFPUNCHER...the very final scene, shortly after the big reveal (that we are now on a wolf-controlled planet), while we're still reeling from the shock, a big wolf appears, says something fitting to the horror-struck humans, and then punches Liam in the face (HARD). We get a POV of the fist, hear the SMACK! Cut to black. Cue screamo music. Roll credits. Rake in the fundage.
-
Come on, fellas. That one was just sitting there waiting to be taken.

Seriously. I think every film could use a bit more wolf-punchery..
by Mr. Nice Gaius
-
We find out they are all dead really and they meet up with all their friends from the plane crash in limbo and then move on ---I thought of that all by myself as well.

"Or as I like to call it, WOLFPUNCHER." - No, as a talkbacker called it and you shamelessly stole.
by loafroaster
-
You've gotta be kidding - Neeson really has the gravitas to pull these things off well, eg Unknown and Taken. If you doubt the man's awareness of his own acting style - just watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKTh7zBIcrM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
-
By far the best guest appearance in LTS -- Neeson was brilliant.
-
A nightmare about Liam Neeson who has a very particular set of skills, skills that he's required over a very long career... I watched this trailer several times, the only recent trailer that I've watched more times is the one for The Raid.
-
I do like Liam. He's a class act. And I can take with a pinch of salt some of the stuff he's been in of late. BUT.....there's an air of slight desperation about where his career is heading. Too much disposable tat (however enjoyable) and a moving away from parts and roles of leading substance. Maybe that's not down to him anymore. Perhaps he just can't get the parts anymore. Perhaps Hollywoodland has fallen out of love with the big fella.

For more wolf nastiness check out 'Frozen' It's the best thing about it
by the_shitweasel_with_a_quizzical_brow
-
Punching wolves only makes sense right?
-
Jesus Christ. How hard is it to train a couple of wolves to do that shit for real. Lazy filmmaking...
-
This film does have a great look to it, but why does it need a pack of wolves? Wolves aren't scary. A plane crash in the wintery mountains would be intense enough. If it's Wolfen in their natural habitat, I'm there opening day.
-
Yes, I felt that needed to be all caps. Will the big reveal be a giant statue of Wolfraham Lincoln?
-
Good call on the title. And yeah, that seems to be the protocol around here - all caps for movie titles. I was thinking about that - some kind of statue, but couldn't come up with a good idea. Wolfram Lincoln = good idea.
-
Survivor, that is. Looks like the sort of film where Neeson is the only one left - or, in a 'twist' the younger man he takes under his wing and teaches a valuable life lesson to.
-
The guy will keep on having roles, and probably quite a few decent ones. I don't remember thinking how far Anthony Hopkins had fallen when he was in "The Edge", nor when he appeared in a low-budget indie New Zealand-made film.

By god, the morons in this thread are setting a new bar so very low...
by Playkins
:::facepalm:::<P> In school I used to call this a "fuck train". One person makes some snarky comment about someone else's work, then everyone joins in and eventually are just having fun trashing something, deserved or not.<P> Say what you want about Carnahan, but he approaches things differently than the average filmmaker, and he's far beyond the paint-by-numbers approach.
-
...is constantly cast as the lead character in big budget movies that get major cinema releases. Somehow I don't think the guy is desperate or on the skids.
-
when Liam gets that crazy look in his eyes

I thought it was the greys by whitley strieber. Now that a film i want to see
by skiff
this looks fun too

To see Liam Neeson punch wolves? You bet I'll be there.
