Liam Neeson Interview For ‘The Grey’
Jan 26th
In ‘The Grey,’ Liam Neeson leads an unruly group of oil-rig roughnecks when their plane crashes into the remote Alaskan wilderness. Battling mortal injuries and merciless weather, the survivors have only a few days to escape the icy elements – and a vicious pack of rogue wolves on the hunt – before their time runs out. Directed by Joe Carnahan (The A-Team, Smokin’ Aces), ‘The Grey’ is set for release January 27th. Frank Grillo, Dermot Mulroney, Dallas Roberts, Joe Anderson, Nonso Anozie, and James Badge Dale co-star.
What spoke to you about this role? And how was it working with the other guys in this ensemble?
Liam Neeson: There was something very primal about the story that triggered me, triggered something in me in this technological age. Me and a bunch of guys, out in the elements, extreme elements, being pursued by….almost mythological wolves. Their size, their intensity, their hatred for mankind. The wolves want to pick us off one at a time. That really interested me. The script read like a 19th Century epic poem for me, something like “The Ancient Mariner.” And also the little boy in myself, I just thought it would be great to be out with a bunch of guys on a cliff face or a rock face and doing manly things.
Something quite immediate happened with all of us as we shook each others hand, you know? And yes, we knew we were gonna go on this ride, this journey – and I know that’s a cliché but it really really was a journey in lots of ways. We all recognised that, and we all recognised each others strengths and sensitivities. It was tough but we had a good laugh.

Dwayne Johnson & Josh Hutcherson Interview For ‘Journey 2: The Mysterious Island’

It’s a place of strange life forms, mountains of gold, deadly volcanoes, and more than one astonishing secret. Unable to stop him from going, Sean’s new stepfather, Hank (Dwayne Johnson), joins the quest.

How was it for the both of you shooting in Hawaii? Dwayne, I know you spent some time there during you teenage years. And Josh, how was it compared to shooting on a sound-stage where much of the first film was shot?
Dwayne Johnson: For me, I was a punk kid running around there when I was 14, getting arrested, doing a lot of things I shouldn’t have been doing. To go from that kid to this man, to be able to have this movie pump millions of dollars into the economy, that was very special to me. The first movie, ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth,’ was a good movie that did great around the world. With this movie, we had an opportunity to do something better. One of the ways of making it better was taking it off the sound-stage and taking it to Hawaii, where you see the vastness, the lushness, the beauty of Hawaii. You have the mountains, the rainforest….there’s a texture that makes people go, “WOW!” Especially with the 3D. The scenery is a character in of itself.
Josh Hutcherson: Hawaii added a tonne to this movie. Not only visually and physically, but also emotionally. I think it has this sort of laid back “Aloha” spirit that the whole crew was able to tap into. Therefore, amidst the madness of running around from giant lizards on set, you get to step off and calm down, chill. When I heard we were shooting in Hawaii I was thrilled.
