Liam Neeson Heads to the Himalayas in ICE ROAD 2: ROAD TO THE SKY
Liam Neeson is set to star in a sequel to his 2021 action thriller The Ice Road. The sequel is titled Ice Road 2: Road To The Sky, and this next story will be set in the harsh terrain of the mountains of Nepal.
In the sequel, Neeson returns as ‘big-rig’ ice road driver Mike McCann who, “honoring his late brother’s last wish, travels to Nepal to scatter his ashes on Mt. Everest. While on a packed tour bus traversing the deadly 12,000 ft. terrain of the infamous Road to the Sky, Mike and his mountain guide encounter a group of Nepalese mercenaries and must fight not only to save themselves and the busload of innocent travelers, but also the local villagers’ homeland.”
Ya gotta love Liam Neeson movies! His characters always continue to find themselves in the most insane situations! The sequel will come from writer and director Jonathan Hensleigh (Die Hard with a Vengeance, Armageddon, Jumanji). He said in a statement: “I can’t wait to tell this next chapter in the Ice Road saga.”
Producer Lisa Wilson added: “I am thrilled to bring this action-packed sequel to the market knowing it is exactly what everyone is looking for, and, of course, delighted to continue our partnership with Code and relationship with Liam Neeson.
Production is due to start in the first quarter of 2024.
