Liam Neeson is to begin shooting his new film, the wilderness thriller 'The Grey', next week.

Deadline.com reports that the film tells the story of a group of oil rig workers whose plane crashes in a wolves' hunting zone in Alaska.

The film reunites Neeson with 'The A-Team' director Joe Carnahan.

Carnahan said of the story: "The wolves have a territorial range of 300 miles, and they will run you out if you cross that.

"If you’re within 30 miles of their den as is the case here, they will try to kill you.

"It's simple arithmetic, but it creates an opportunity for one of those man vs nature movies I love like 'Deliverance' and 'Touching the Void'."
