The Grey

[F1rst]

I can't believe how epic this 2nd trailer for the film is. Ridley Scott and his production company helmed this film and by the looks of what I have seen so far, I have to say this quickly shot up to my top 5 to look out for in 2012.

So many things to discuss about the trailer but I'll just start it off by saying the music for the trailer sounds alot like the score from "There Will Be Blood". Good Choice IMO (I'm not a stickler when it comes to original scores).

What does everyone think about this one?

Some more Photo stills. Sorry about the size of the last one, couldn't figure out how to resize properly. As for this batch.....Those broken beer bottle knuckles are sure to provide for some interesting cinema.



(EDIT: Technically they are tiny alcohol bottles that they serve on flights. Still, thats crazy)

Liam ‘voice like a snow-gritter’ Neeson in survival horror mode, here.

The plot:

Spoiler

In Alaska, a team of oil drillers are just coming to the end of their secondment to the icy wasteland. One of them, Ottway (Neeson), is in emotional turmoil following the death of his wife, and contemplates suicide, even going so far as putting a shotgun in his mouth.
Barrel end first, of course.
He’s not sick.
Not managing to go through with it, instead he finds himself on the flight to Anchorage that will take the drillers home when calamity strikes: the plane goes down, in the middle of nowhere, and only seven survive.
With little in the way of supplies – only what they can salvage from the wreck – their position looks perilous, and is made all the worse when it soon transpires that their most pressing concern is not the Arctic terrain, but a pack of wolves, into whose territory they have inadvertently crashed.
Which will kill them first?
The elements?
Or the slyly intelligent, massively territorial wildlife?

And it should be a load of old cobblers, but it works terrifically well.
Neeson is perfectly cast as the sour, embittered old gizzard who just happens to be something of an expert on all things lupine.
The director makes excellent use of the terrifyingly frozen landscape, casting an emotionless eye over the terrain to really drive home the full extent of the survivors’ plight.
The wolves themselves are a menacing foe and, though much could be discussed about the plausibility of such usually timid creatures acting in this manner, relax folks; it’s only a movie.
It’s a tough watch on occasion, too, with one particularly grisly sequence involving

Spoiler

the removal of an already dead wolf’s head using nought but a small penknife.

Shown in graphic detail, this scene caused quite the murmuring amongst the audience.
With a bleakness infused in every shot, this may be a Hollywood movie, but it strays far from the well-trodden territory of cliché and

happy outcomes,

instead forcing the viewer to really think about the conditions the men found themselves in.
Surprisingly powerful stuff.

I couldn't agree more. It had just the right balance of entertainment, desperate survival against the odds, giving up hope and a thought provoking nature to the movie. I also really liked that the ending wasn't happy or sad and got people talking(or frustrated) Liam Neeson is fantastic in it and the situation of course has to mirror his own life in a way since his real life wife died tragically in an accident. Indeed powerful stuff, very emotional, setting just the right tone and not using wolves chasing them as an excuse for gore. Your right it was Hollywood, but unlike other movies out there it felt real!

Well put.

I can't wait for the DVD. Hoping there is a good Commentary track and extras for this one. Just a Good film.
