Ten years after the events of Clash of the Titans, Perseus (Sam Worthington) will once again be pulled into the power struggle of the gods in the upcoming sequel Wrath of the Titans.
This time, Perseus is forced into action after his father Zeus (Liam Neeson) is captured by Hades (Ralph Fiennes) and Ares (Édgar Ramirez), who have switched loyalty to Kronos — who is Hades and Zeus' father, held captive with the Titans in the dungeon Tartarus. The first preview clip sees the start of Hades' treachery, as he surprises Zeus by attacking him.

An action-packed new theatrical trailer — the third, to date — for director Peter Berg's (Hancock) board game-to-movie adaptation, Battleship, is now available for viewing online. The two-minute trailer skips the personal dramas of Naval officer Lt. Alex Hopper (Taylor Kitsch) that dominated previous trailers and TV spots in favor of showcasing the Transformers-esque special effects of the invading aliens and their city-leveling superior technology. Oh, yeah, and it looks like we might actually get to hear Admiral Shane (Liam Neeson) shout, "You sank my battleship," at some point, because the USS John Paul Jones is revealed to be no match for the aliens.

Russell Crowe seems to be up for every role available lately. Already set to play Inspector Javert in The King's Speech director Tom Hooper's musical version of Les Miserables starting this month, Crowe was recently cast in Winter's Tale, which will serve as the directorial debut for Academy Award–winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind). Crowe could add yet another project that would team the actor with Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky.
According to Deadline, Aronofsky wants Crowe for the title role in Noah, the director's take on the Biblical story that he has described as a "big event film." Crowe is not officially in the role, though Aronofsky is reportedly interested in the Australian actor for the lead. Aronofsky initially courted The Dark Knight actor Christian Bale for the role, but apparently scheduling issues have kept Bale from accepting the part. The director is also interested in Liam Neeson for an unspecified role as well.

Whether or not Liam Neeson would return as the villainous Ra's al Ghul in director Christopher Nolan's third and final Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, has been a topic of much debate amongst online fans, most of whom expect Neeson to return in some capacity.
Neeson denied the rumors that he would be reprising his Batman Begins role last February, revealing that he "definitely" would not be back, but added a month later that "like to... if it happens." The Social Network actor Josh Pence was cast as a young Ra's al Ghul a month later, which, while it didn't confirm Neeson's return, did nothing to stop the rumors from spreading. Supposedly, Pence is playing the character in flashback.
Neeson's latest comments will do little to stop the ceaseless rumors from spreading. The Irish actor did not confirm to Showbiz Spy that he would return for The Dark Knight Rises per se, but did confirm that he visited the set.

Irish actor Liam Neeson has made a habit of making action thrillers lately— 2009's Taken and 2010's Unknown, for example — but the upcoming The Grey has looked like one of Neeson's most difficult challenges yet. The movie follows a team of oil drillers who crash-land in the Alaskan wilderness, and Neeson's attempt to keep them all alive in the midst of freezing temperatures and a hungry pack of wolves.
Based on the short story "Ghost Walkers" by Ian Jeffers, The Grey reunites Neeson with his The A-Team director Joe Carnahan, who also co-wrote the script with Jeffers. A new red band trailer for the movie shows the brutality of the initial airplane crash, the wolves' attacks as well as the freezing conditions that Neeson revealed in a conversation with Collider that made him think that The Grey would be "impossible to shoot."

Two new preview clips from The Grey, director Joe Carnahan's (The A-Team) new action thriller starring his go-to guy, Academy Award-nominated actor Liam Neeson (Schindler's List), have been released online. Based on the short story "Ghost Walkers" by Ian Jeffers — who also co-wrote the screenplay adaptation with Carnahan — the movie follows a team of oil drillers who crash-land in the Alaskan wilderness. Though fortunate to walk away from the plane crash, Ottway (Neeson) and his cohorts have to fight to stay alive, as bitter temperatures, lack of food, and a pack of ravenous wolves threaten to finish them off.

Rugged Irish actor Liam Neeson has become the go-to guy for writer-director Joe Carnahan. Carnahan chose Neeson to play Hannibal, the leader of the group of wrongly-convicted war heroes in his modern adaptation of the classic TV show The A-Team, and also the "oil-rig roughneck" at the center of his latest movie, The Grey, which opens later this month.
Though Carnahan recently admitted that he doesn't think he will be re-teaming with Neeson on a sequel to The A-Team — "I don’t want to get tied up in that whole world of sequels and franchises." — he's not done with the Academy Award-nominated actor just yet. In an interview with Collider in support of The Grey, Carnahan said that Neeson would be "fantastic" as the hero cop in Nemesis, the planned live-action adaptation of Kick-Ass creator Mark Millar's comic book about a white-clad supervillain with the money and skills of Batman in a world without superheroes.

While most moviegoers living in the Northern United States are seeing (snow) white right about now, Open Road Films is hoping they'll see grey, as in The Grey, director Joe Carnahan's (The A-Team) new action thriller opening next month. Open Road debuted both a new trailer and an extended TV spot for the movie earlier this month, and now a behind-the-scenes featurette has been released online.
Titled "Into the Fray," the featurette primarily focuses on the star of the movie, Academy Award-nominated actor Liam Neeson (Schindler's List), and how he "went whole hog" for the role of an "oil-rig roughneck" who is forced to fend off the elements and ravenous wolves after his plane crashes in the Alaskan wilderness. Though Neeson admits in the featurette that he wasn't sure if he could "physically" handle the role — which required him to shoot on location in British Columbia, Canada, during the dead of winter — Carnahan credited his "stunning performance" with elevating the performances of the rest of the actors in the movie.

The first trailer for the upcoming The Grey made it almost seem like Liam Neeson was going to be alone as he fights off the elements and a pack of wolves after being stranded in the Alaskan wild after a plane crash. The second trailer offered more of Neeson's fellow survivors, including Frank Grillo (Warrior), Dermot Mulroney (My Best Friend's Wedding), Dallas Roberts (3:10 To Yuma), Joe Anderson (The Crazies), James Badge Dale (the upcoming World War Z, HBO’s The Pacific), and Nonso Anozie (Conan The Barbarian).
The Grey debuted at Ain't It Cool News' Butt-Numb-a-Thon earlier this month, and, after the strong response, The Grey director Joe Carnahan (The A-Team) sent them an extended, Twitter TV spot, which includes footage mostly pulled from the second trailer along with reviews and responses sent over Twitter about the movie.
