IAR's Managing Editor Jami Philbrick recently had an opportunity to sit down with Academy Award-nominated actor Liam Neeson to discuss his work on The Grey. Neeson talked candidly about the new film, human nature's willingness to survive, his character's own sudden desire to live; the mantra that kept him going, what Neeson learned about himself from making the movie, and why in his opinion Joe Carnahan was the only man capable of directing the film.
Synopsis: In 1989, emergency responders received a 9-1-1 call from Maria Rossi (Suzan Crowley) confessing that she had brutally killed three people. 20 years later, her daughter Isabella (Fernanda Andrade) seeks to understand the truth about what happened that night. She travels to the Centrino Hospital for the Criminally Insane in Italy where her mother has been locked away to determine if her mother is mentally ill or demonically possessed. When she recruits two young exorcists (Simon Quarterman and Evan Helmuth) to cure her mom using unconventional methods combining both science and religion, they come face-to-face with pure evil in the form of four powerful demons possessing Maria.
Three new images from The Grey have popped up online today, and if you're wondering what The Grey is exactly, it's the movie where Liam Neeson fights a feral wolf, using only a little knife and some jagged mine booze bottles affixed to his fist. Sadly, these images do not contain Neeson engaging in fisticuffs with a wild animal, but they do remind us that The Grey is also a tense survival thriller about a group of oil-drilling roughnecks who find themselves stranded in the remote Alaskan wilderness following a plane crash. And because that situation isn't quite horrific enough, they're being picked off by a pack of rogue wolves who presumably love the taste of roughnecks. So check out the pictures below, knowing in your heart that once The Grey will include an Oscar caliber actor wrasslin' with a wolf.*
You know how it is, you're a single mother just trying to get from point A to point B with your little boy in tow, when suddenly a bank robber on the run hops in your cars, threatening both your life and the life of your son. That the scenario in Carjacked, the upcoming release from Anchor Bay Films. Maria Bello, currently holding it down weekly with a sweet hat on Prime Suspect, plays the protagonist, whilst Stephen Dorff portrays the robber. Since it's Bello, you can guess that she won't be playing the victim for long, but in a new clip from Carjacked, her character, Lorraine, is still waiting on help from the police when she and Roy encounter a roadblock meant specifically to nab the suspect. It's a tense little scene, and one that makes you yearn for the moment when Lorraine turns the tables on that scumbag Roy.
In a relatively short amount of time, twenty-nine year old actor Cam Gigandet has established himself as one of the most sought after actors of his generation. He first gained attention for his role on the popular Fox series The O.C. before taking his talents to the big screen in films like Who’s Your Caddy? and Never Back Down. But it was his role as James in Twilight, the first installment of the extremely popular vampire series, which made him a household name. Since then, he has appeared in an array of popular and successful films such as Easy A, Burlesque, The Roommate, and last summer’s Priest. Now Gigandet returns to the big screen opposite Oscar winners Nicolas Cage (Leaving Las Vegas) and Nicole Kidman (The Hours) in Joel Schumacher’s (The Lost Boys) Trespass, which opens in theaters on October 14th.
In the film, Cage plays Kyle; a successful diamond broker whose obsession with work is threatening his marriage to Sarah, played by Kidman. Things go from bad to worse quickly when Kyle’s family, including his only daughter, is suddenly taken hostage in their own home by extortionists who want Kyle’s diamonds. What seems like a simple home invasion becomes quite complicated when Kyle realizes that one of the attackers, Jonah (Gigandet), has a connection to his wife and possibly some other secrets of his own. Now Kyle must keep the burglars away from his diamonds, and unravel the mystery of Jonah and Sarah’s relationship, if he has any hope of protecting his family and surviving the terrible ordeal.
I recently had a chance to speak with Cam Gigandet about his work in the new film Trespass. The actor spoke candidly with me about the new film, what its like on a Joel Schumacher set, working with the extremely intense Nicolas Cage, Nicole Kidman’s calming effect over the cast and crew, his character’s complicated back-story, and his next project, which is a pilot for a new Western TV series on TNT.

Worthington, and Mann spoke honestly about the new film, the true story that it is based on, Mann's approach to the material, Worthington's research into his role; why he wanted to re-team with his The Debt co-star Jessica Chastain, and the "good cop/bad cop" routine.
