Scott Free Productions have brought him back to put his own explosive touch on the tale of an architect who turns into a bloodthirsty vigilante after the rape and murder of his wife, and severe beating of his daughter. No casting has been announced yet, but it only makes sense that Joe would want to reteam with Liam Neeson. He’s good at punching people and animals, and won’t turn down a role. However, if they want to stay true to the original, they should cast someone short and older who wouldn’t naturally be pegged as the tough type. Someone get Jerry Stiller on the phone.

And Gary Wiles, a biologist for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, wants the world to know that.

In the film, which hits theaters today, Liam Neeson‘s character must survive in the Alaskan wilderness, staving off feral wolves. Despite the presence of over 60,000 wolves in the US, only two wolf-related deaths are on record, which is probably like only 20% of the wolf-related deaths featured in The Grey.

From Spokesman.com:

“The facts are so much different than what I suspect is portrayed in the movie,” said Wiles, who helped write Washington’s recently adopted wolf management and conservation plan. “I always say show me the evidence that people are being attacked.”

And before you contradict Mr. Wiles, let me remind you that he has crafted at least one wolf management plan. How many wolf management plans have you written and enacted? None, probably.

Screen Junkies is going to take a stand here. We side with Mr. Gary Wiles, but will allow and possibly even enjoy the fictitious portrayal of angry, evil wolves, much as we enjoyed the portrayal of Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, and Ed Helms as a “wolfpack,” though we are aware that they are human actors, and not actual wolves.

*boom goes the gavel*

While filming in Istanbul, Liam Neeson found he had an affinity to the religion of Islam. After feeling uncomforted by Christianity following the tragic death of his wife, Natasha Richardson, The Grey star found solace in the Call to Prayer custom.

The actor, 59, admitted Islamic prayer “got into his spirit” while filming in Turkish city Istanbul.

He said: “The Call to Prayer happens five times a day and for the first week it drives you crazy, and then it just gets into your spirit and it’s the most beautiful, beautiful thing.

“There are 4,000 mosques in the city. Some are just stunning and it really makes me think about becoming a Muslim.”

Some might be outraged by this admission, but its his personal choice. We aren’t in any position to judge a man seeking solace. Plus, it will probably mean he grows a ridiculous beard just like he does in his movies. I’m in full support.

Also, this info comes from The Sun, so chances are Neeson has never even been to Turkey.

I don’t want to get you too excited this early in the morning, but Liam Neeson is going to take on wolves. Bradley Cooper jumped ship on Joe Carnahan‘s forthcoming directorial effort The Grey, and his A-Team co-star Neeson has taken his place. The film is about "a group of Alaska pipeline workers whose plane crash lands on their way back ome from a remote worksite. The workers then find themselves hunted by a pack of wolves."

Are you kidding me? When can I buy my ticket?! Liam Neeson mopping the floor with Frenchmen in Taken was tantilizing enough, but now he’s actually going head-to-head with wolves? Mother Nature better shave her legs ’cause she’s about to get f*cked. (/Film)
