Joe Carnahan has always been a Hollywood wild card.  But with his latest film, The Grey, he tries to dive a little bit deeper into the psyche of man. Starring fellow go-to guy for action, Liam Neeson, the film follows an unruly pack of oil-riggers stranded in the Alaskan wilderness after a disastrous plane crash. A survivalist film of the highest order, the guys must battle nature’s brutality as well as the vicious and bloodthirsty wolves that surround them. With the tag line, “Live and die on this day,” the film showcases Carnahan’s affinity for the fight as well as Neeson’s career as a leading man of force. We caught up with the director to discuss his primal attraction to a film like this, seeing Pikachu before death, and allowing the audience to walk away with questions.
