A new trailer for 'The Grey' has been spreading across the internet for the last couple of days. It expands from the last trailer to show more of the events that left Liam Neeson and friends left out in the bitter cold of Alaska.
The trailer also shows more of the group that is stranded out in the snow. I enjoyed how the trailer balanced its slow first half with a much more tense second half. I think it definitely shows us what kind of film we're gonna be getting with this: a tense, taut survival story.
Liam Neeson yet again shows that he isn't gonna let age stop him from dominating any bad-ass role he is given. From Zeus, to Hannibal in 'The A-Team', and to Bryan Mills in 'Taken'; his filmography reads like a comprehensive list of guys you really don't want to mess with.
What's surprising to me is that the film is directed by Joe Carnahan, who's previous directorial work has been mostly action-packed fare like 'The A-Team' and 'Smokin' Aces'. Regardless I'm excited to see how he handles a different pace and a more human story.
The trailer definitely shows that he has some impressive tricks up his sleeve. A lot of the imagery from the trailer is unique and impressive, especially the quick 'bed-sheet-to-snow' transition.
I personally can't wait for this to come out and I won't have to wait for long as it releases January 27, 2012.
