It probably needs no explication, since his first feature as a writer-director was titled Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane, but Joe Carnahan makes masculine movies. His latest movie, The Grey, is currently the number one movie in America, having made an estimated $20 million in its opening weekend, and now that Carnahan has put Liam Neeson in a fistfight with vicious wolves, where does he go from there? It looks like might venture into Bronson territory, as he's apparently on board to write and direct a remake of Death Wish, the 1974 revenge tale starring the one and only Charles Bronson.
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.*
