Liam Neeson Enters The Grey
THR reports that Liam Neeson will re-unite with A-Team director Joe Carnahan to star in The Grey.
The movie follows an oil drilling team, lead by Neeson, who find themselves up against a pack of wolves after being involved in a plane crash in wilds of Alaska. The project was announced earlier this year with Bradley Cooper (also a member of Carnahan’s A-Team) starring. When that didn’t work out, Neeson stepped into the role. Carnahan wrote the movie with Ian Jeffers.
Neeson returns to theaters in November in The Next Three Days with Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks.
Let Me In Clip and Photos
Filed under: Download Movie Trailers, Movie News, Movie Pictures
The first clip and some new photos from Let Me In are online. The movie, a remake of Let The Right One In, stars Kodi Smit McPhee as a boy who is victimized by bullies and Chloe Moretz as the vampire girl next door who comes to his rescue. Richard Jenkins and Elias Koteas also star.
In the clip, we see an attempted abduction/murder gone wrong. Which is why, no matter what you’ve seen in the movies up until now, you should never try to snatch somebody in their car. It’s a confined space, dammit! You’re trapped and there are just too many opportunities for something to go wrong. Not that I’d know from experience, but it just seems like common sense. Let Me In shows at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival before opening in theaters October 1st. Continue reading for more. Read more…

Movie Poster for The Next Three Days
Like most people, I sometimes bitch about generic movie posters. You know the ones I’m talking about — with the floating heads and little else. So you’d think a poster like the one below for The Next Three Days, that shows a little bit of originality, would spark my interest. But really, it doesn’t. In fact, I find it a little creepy. And in the end, isn’t it still a floating head? It also bugs me is that it’s all about Russell Crowe, and nobody else. Where’s Elizabeth Banks? Doesn’t she star in the movie too? Isn’t she a viable-enough name at this point in her career to merit a mention somewhere on there? The whole thing just rubs me the wrong way.

The Next Three Days opens November 19th.
