Liam Neeson To Play A Snowplow Driver Out For Revenge
(Vulture) “According to the film’s official synopsis, Neeson plays Nels Coxman, a nose-to-the-grindstone family man (Laura Dern plays his wife) who is beloved by the residents of his Colorado resort town because ‘he is the one who keeps the winter roads clear.’ One could argue that keeping roads snow-free is exactly what a snowplow operator is paid to do, but let’s not mess with a good thing. Especially as Neeson’s character seems willing to go way beyond the call of duty when, following the murder of his son at the hands of a ruthless drug lord, Coxman channels his inner huntsman and ‘transforms from an ordinary man into a skilled killer as he sets out to dismantle the cartel,’ which in turn triggers a turf war between ‘a manically unpredictable gangster known as Viking and a Native American gang boss.'”
‘Hard Powder’ is a baller title, and if anyone was going to be the person to make the first addition to the ‘Snow Day’ cinematic universe, I’m glad it’s Liam Neeson. That said, his movie titles are truly becoming nothing but ad libs.
What’s next? ‘Cut and Dried’, Liam Neeson stars as Felix Ramsay, a 5 star chef out for revenge after a Cutco knife salesman murders his wife. ‘AMA’, a movie staged in flashbacks with Liam Neeson starring as Joshua Roberts, a social media manager confessing to his vigilante crimes after taking down a syndicate that murdered his wife. ‘Blind I’, Liam Neeson stars as Dr. Colton Onyx, an optometrist who is out for revenge after a court mishap lets his wife’s killers walk free. I’m just spitballing here, and if any studios take those ideas I WILL sue.
I am happy for Liam securing the bag, but maybe start moving into prestige projects and leaving the action to the young bucks like 56 year old Tom Cruise.
