Star Wars alumni Liam Neeson and Laura Dern are to star together in the upcoming Studio Canal production, Cold Pursuit. The film is released on 7th February.
Directed by Hans Petter Moland, the film is set at a glitzy ski resort in the Rocky Mountains town of Kehoe. It’s -10 degrees and counting!
The local police aren’t used to much action until the son of unassuming town snowplow driver, Nels Coxman (Liam Neeson), is murdered at the order of Viking (Tom Bateman), a flamboyant drug lord.
Fueled by rage and armed with heavy machinery, Nels sets out to dismantle the cartel one man at a time, but his understanding of murder comes mainly from what he has read in a crime novel.
As the bodies pile up, his actions ignite a turf war between Viking and his long-standing rival, White Bull (Tom Jackson), a soulful Native-American mafia boss. Needless to say, things quickly escalate and turn the small town’s bright white slopes blood-red.
We haven’t been able to clarify if Liam Neeson utters the iconic line, “Call Mr. Plow, that’s my name, that name again is Mr. Plow.” but we can live in hope… it could be his next “…what I do have are a very particular set of skills…”
