Liam Neeson Set to Star in a New Action Adventure Film Called THE ICE ROAD
Liam Neeson has joined another action adventure film! This one is called The Ice Road, which is being written and directed by Jonathan Hensleigh (The Punisher, Kill The Irishman).
Neeson will play “a ‘big-rig’ ice road driver who, after a remote diamond mine collapses in the far northern regions of Canada, must lead an impossible rescue mission over a frozen ocean to save the trapped miners. Contending with thawing waters and a massive storm, they discover the real threat is one they never saw coming.”
Yep, that sure sounds like the kind of movie Liam Neeson would sign up for! Producers Al Corley and Bart Rosenblatt had this to say in a statement:
“We are thrilled and fortunate to be working with the extraordinary talents of Liam Neeson and Jonathan Hensleigh and the outstanding creative team they have assembled on this breathtaking adventure story.”
Hensleigh added:
“I’ve never been able to shake Clouzot’s Wages of Fear since I saw it as a kid because of the character emphasis during the action, and The Ice Road is in that tradition. And when it comes to bringing intelligence and soul to an action adventure film, Liam Neeson is incomparable.”
Well, I enjoy the films that Neeson makes, so I’m totally in!
