Live or die on this day. Or, you can check out director Joe Carnahan's survival thriller film, The Grey, set to be released tomorrow.

While director Joe Carnahan's survival thriller film, The Grey, is far from the first film that presented to the audience a "man vs. wild" cinematic experience, it is certainly not much of a stretch to suggest that it could just be one of the superior take on the relatively niche genre.

Reuniting Carnahan with his 2010 box office flop The A-Team co-star Liam Neeson, The Grey pits Neeson as John Ottway, the leader of a crew of oil rig roughnecks who survived a plane clash only to find themselves in the Alaskan tundra against a pack of wolves. Based on the short story "Ghost Walker" by Ian Mackenzie Jeffers, the film has garnered positive reviews and is set to be released on January 27th, 2012.

With no further ado, have a taste of the intense action and how badass Neeson can get in the recently-released red band trailer.



And here are a couple of the posters released thus far.


Here's the official synopsis for the film:

A group of oil-rig roughnecks are left stranded on the sub-arctic tundra after their plane experiences a complete mechanical failure and crashes into the remote Alaskan wilderness. The survivors, battling mortal injuries, biting cold and ravenous hunger, are relentlessly hunted and pursued by a vicious pack of rogue wolves.
