Variety (via /Film) have confirmed that Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) will star in Joe Carnahan‘s thriller The Grey. Carnahan‘s blockbuster adaptation A-Team, set to be released on June 11, also stars Cooper, so there is hopefully a promising director/actor relationship forming there. /Film reports The Grey‘s synopsis as follows:
The story is about a group of Alaska pipeline workers who crash land while flying back into civilization after being remote for a few months. The survivors begin to be hunted by a pack of rogue wolves.
Carnahan co-wrote the film along with Ian Jeffers, with Ridley and Tony Scott‘s Scott Free set to produce. Variety reports that the film is being made for $34 million,. With such limited information, I’m not ready to get overly-excited for this film, although the quick re-teaming of Carnahan and Cooper is certainly something worth noting.
Which upcoming Carnahan/Cooper film are you more excited for: The A-Team or The Grey?
