I remember reading this script a while back, hard to get into at first but when it took off it fucking took off. Look forward to seeing it on screen.

I never read the script, but the trailer looks great! I'm excited about seeing this on the screen, too!

I read part of this script. The concept didn't really intrigue me, but the script got great reviews so I took a look. It was a pretty cool script.

The trailer looks really good. It shows these simple premise movies really are effective and they never get old. The solid writing really comes through even in just the trailer.

I agree. Looks good for what it is.

I looked on scriptshadow the other day at another one about Alaskan fishermen finding some Russians with a briefcase full of money in a life-boat...and so it begins..should they kill them and keep the money? Who can you trust?

It's really all you need.

Definitely think every writer should have at least a couple of these types of scripts in their locker.

They're the sort of staple diet that keeps things ticking along.

I like the look, basic premise and setting of the film.
Gorgeous scenery the anamorphic lens can chew up.
But the wolves angle doesn't work for me, at all.

I worked with wolves in captivity and the wild for five years.
I know how they behave. So, that kills the suspension of disbelief right there for me.
That and the CG enhanced wolf miscreants are a tad obvious.
It's weird watching the editor try to go all Tony Scott on the beasts.
They cut it like the animals are Transformers.

Joe Carnahan needs a hit after "The A-Team", I wish him well.
I thoroughly enjoyed "Narc", which starred Ray Liotta.
But the January kiss of death release date doesn't hold promise. But perhaps...
They're playing the marketing game with the release date.
Hoping to take advantage of a certain Neeson film's earlier success.
Putting "The Grey" out three years after "Taken" hit theaters to the day -1.

E.D.

I know what you mean Brett.

Wolves just aren't scary.

That said...it's the survival angle that I think works well here. You've got the "Alive" vibe mixed with a survival horror.

[A reasonable tip for creating stories here....the Car Crash method...take two successful movies and smash them together...see what comes out]

I won't be rushing to the cinema to watch it, but I'll catch it on cable.

Regarding the wolves, I recall that there was some kind of explanation as to why these wolves are "different" (bigger and more aggressive) but I can't recall what the explanation was.

One thing that impressed me with the script was that when the wolves start hunting and attacking them the action was really on-the-edge-of-your-seat, a real page turner. It'll be interesting to see how well that translates to the screen. If it does.

Quoted from Grandma Bear Finders Keepers is kind of one of those.   I've seen the trailer for this one for a while in theaters now and to be honest, it doesn't grab me at all. I do think the trailer posted here though looks better than the one in theaters, but still...I don't feel intrigued at all and I'm even a pretty big fan of his.

Indeed it is.

Have you managed to put some twists and turns in there to separate it from the crowd? One of the good things in that fisherman script was that it turns out there's a homing beacon on the briefcase...so the proper mobsters are on their way.

Quoted from Scar Tissue Films One of the good things in that fisherman script was that it turns out there's a homing beacon on the briefcase...so the proper mobsters are on their way.

Obviously it's a completely different story, but that twist that "separates it from the pack" sounds an awful lot like No Country.

The fisherman one sounds like it was based on 'A Simple Plan'.

Quoted from Felipe Obviously it's a completely different story, but that twist that "separates it from the pack" sounds an awful lot like No Country.

It's not that it was a twist so much, as that it adds to the tension....the audience and the characters know that some major bad guys are on the way and could arrive at any time.

Thrillers live and die on tension.
