Liam Neeson Replacing Bradley Cooper As Prey For The Grey

Looks like one member of the A-Team was just the Plan B. Liam Neeson is stepping in to replace Bradley Cooper in The Grey, a man-vs-wolves survival yarn that Joe Carnahan is gearing up to shoot.

Neeson showed better action chops in Taken than he did in the A-Team, but at least we know he’s got them. And most of the action in this case will be of the running and jumping variety, not mixed martial arts and and elbows to the throat. He’s more than up to it.

The Hollywood Reporter set up the story like this:

A plane goes down in Alaska, with a man (Neeson) and his oil drilling team find themselves struggling to survive in the wild. The men come under attack by large, vicious, aggressive wolves who see the humans as intruders who must be killed.

You get the idea.
