Open Road has released a teaser trailer for The Grey, the Joe Carnahan-directed drama in which Liam Neeson leads a team of oil drillers whose plane crashes in the Alaskan wilds — right in the middle of a territorial pack of rogue wolves. Open Road acquired the film last month for around $8 million and a $25 million P&A commitment to launch early next year, with a possible platform release to put Neeson in the Oscar race. Here is the teaser:
Loading ... Loading ...
Cliffhanger meets Alive meets The Edge. But I’ll still see it.
How did they manage to make something worse than those Killer Elite TV spots?
wow….this is what the creator of the lame and mega flop A-TEAM says is another TOUCHING THE VOID??
uhmmm yeah…..just like A-TEAM was going to be as big a reboot as BATMAN but instead lost so much money Fox couldn’t even justify one sequel.
so let’s see….we now have wolves pick off stranded survivors….TV movie at best and i do like Neeson….but ain’t gonna spend 10 bucks to see in a theatre…rental maybe.
OPEN ROAD goes two for two with KILLER ELITE and now the gray….sad
The A Team was great. It was a perfect popcorn summer flick that captured the spirit of the TV show and was a fun ride friom start to finish. Granted, it isn’t high art, but it wasn’t really meant to be either.
This does look bad, but there has been a lot of positive buzz about it so maybe it is just a badly cut trailer.
Looked like a good trailer to me.
Will see this, Neeson is good.
The teaser is only so-so but Neeson always kills it… he is truly one of the best we have… and the screenplay was magnificent. My prediction: A winner.
Boxing wolves with mini-bar bottle knuckles? Oh please… PASS.
oh, the wolves are a symbol for capitalism in the mortgage crisis ya’ heard?
I’m speechless. Not in a good way either. Hope the script was rewritten.
beautiful cinematography
Agreed. I forgot to add that. I thought the film cuts were great. It’s going to be a beautiful movie to see regardless of the story.
Every blurb for this has referred to a “territorial pack of rogue wolves”. Ok, I’ll bite: what the hell is a “rogue wolf”?
If they weren’t territorial I might get the rogue part but otherwise it don’t make no sense.
The movie looks action packed, but in reality wolves in the wild steer clear of humans like the plague. I love Liam Neeson as an actor but vilifying wolves to make a buck is just bad taste. It’s true that wolves control their territory and protect it at all costs but only against other wolf packs or smaller predators that stray to close. Also a sharpened stick would have been a better weapon than broken mini booze bottles taped to his hands.
As far as Open Road goes, I applaud them for being brave enough to start releasing movies outside of the studio system. Keep up the great work, Tom looking forward to the new system knocking the studios down a notch or two. This system is going to be a game changer for indie filmmakers.
wolves, really?..this might be a relevant story if we were living in 1850. at least sharks are off the hook this week.
I guess the next time you are stuck in the arctic with no food or shelter and being hunted by a pack of wolves you’ll say to yourself… it’s 2011, I’m not afraid of wolves. What is scary/intense? Giant CG robots? Comic book characters?
hilarioius comment.. there will always be haters. i’m sure this guy has a much better movie under his belt.
Is this an apology by Joe and Liam for THE A-TEAM?
yeah…..will they advertise this as….
“From The Writer and Director of THE A-TEAM” ????
would advise against it.
Shame on liberal Hollywood for producing this POS. Filmmakers attend fundraisers for the environment and wildlife conservation and then promote a film that is about ‘rogue wolves.’ How specious.
Wolves are about to be de-listed from the Endangered Species Act in Wyoming, and in Montana and Idaho hunters can shoot as many wolves on sight that they want.
This film will perpetuate an erroneous judgment about wolves. The hypocrisy is astounding. Truly, astounding.
Wow, you gathered all that from the trailer? Great work!
Another run of the mill ‘I’m-the-main-character-grieving-over-my-lost-wife-and-so-I-carry-a-photo -of-her-with-me-everywhere-I-go’ subplot garbage.
Honestly, if writers in Hollywood would stop using every cliche in the book, or better yet, stop using the first idea they thought of every time, we may actually see a stop to s**t like this, as well as the constant stream of remakes.
How about writing something worthy of being remade for once?
Could be cool but probably not. The problem is that Carnahan is not talented. Neeson is but Joe C will suck the life out of that I am sure.
This was even kicked to the B team at Scott Free. No Michael Costigan just their commericials producer. Ridley and Tony knew it was not worth the time.
Hate to say it but this will do well.
it’s THE EDGE… beat for beat!
Wow. Some bitter folks on this website. What happened to you guys that you’re bashing a film you haven’t even seen?
It stinks of jealousy and failure in here.
Man I thought I was cynical, what a crowd. Looks good to me.
The characters crash landed in the mountains/woods… where the wolves live. The humans technically “invaded” their space… So who wants to pay to see humans with glass taped to their knuckles carve up animals in the wilderness (their natural habitat) — Yes, the A-Team was awful on every level which would make me think “DJ Joe” would have chosen something wiser after such a terrible performance last time out.
By the way: The A-Team? Really? Did you ever see the 80′s television show that the film was based on?
Were you expecting an art-house version of The A-Team? Maybe Hannibal should have explored his dominance issues, and use of disguises as a means of escaping his own true self (“I love it when a plan of self discovery comes together.”)
B.A. could have taken his mohawk to the inner city as an emotionally removed teacher that learns to care for his street-hardened students (“I pity the schoo’ – system.”)
The A-Team is an easy target for criticism. But in the end, what’s your point?
Looks good, seems like the character from Taken’s plane crashed in Alaska and now needs to fight off wolves. But he’s a man with very particular set of skills. Hope he karate chops that wolf to the neck, it will knock the wolf out for sure. Good eating.
February 2012, would be a good spot, for release that’s when Taken and Unknown came out.
Killing wolves? What a mindless, juvenile, tasteless idea. Not unexpected from a crappy director who is an even crappy writer. And on top of that the guy is known as a complete dick in biz. Saw it first hand. Sat in a meeting with the shithead. Karma coming.
