Apropos Liam Neeson.
You better not get in Liam Neeson’s way in Vancouver because he’s out for revenge in his new film Hard Powder.Aktuell dreht er die nächsten 5 Wochen bis Ende Mai in British Columbia (auch in Vancouver)
"Hard Powder", einen Revenge Thriller, u. a. mit Tom Jackson. Im Musik-Thread habe ich ihn schon mehrmals erwähnt.
Ein sehr charismatischer kanadischer Folk-Sänger (Métis) mit sonorer Stimme. Seine Mutter ist eine Cree, Vater Engländer.
Die Dreharbeiten von Hard Powder erinnern mich ein wenig an
The Grey. The Grey wurde 2011 in 40 Tagen auch in B.C. gedreht, zwischen Prince George und Prince Rupert (rauhe Gegend) und teils in Vancouver.

Hard Powder will be directed by Norwegian filmmaker Hans Petter Moland.
Neeson plays Nels, an “upright snowplow driver” whose son is murdered by a local drug kingpin.
“Nels’ vengeance sparks a turf war between a Native American mafia boss and the Viking, a fastidious gangster who wears Tom Ford suits, is a vegan, drives a Tesla and murders people. This climaxes in a final showdown that leaves almost no one unscathed,” Variety reports.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Hard Powder will be an adaptation of Moland’s Norway-set thriller In Order of Disappearance.
The film will be produced by Michael Shamberg, who worked on Django Unchained, Pulp Fiction and Get Shorty, among others.
The movie, which is set in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, sees Neeson plays a snowplow driver, who seeks revenge against the drug dealers he believes killed his son.
However, his quest for vengeance sparks a turf war between two rival gang bosses, one of whom is played by Canadian Métis actor Tom Jackson.
According to production manager Warren Carr, the filmmakers had been hoping to shoot at the Columbia Ice Fields, at Lake Louise and in downtown Banff.
But, Carr told Daily Hive via email, that Parks Canada had turned them down.
“One of their excuses was related to First Nations issues,” said Carr.
“But our First Nations Cast, including the award winning Canadian actor Tom Jackson, see there is no issue other than Parks Canada making decisions relating to First Nations without consulting any of the Treaty Seven Nations.
“They see it as placing restrictions on the opportunities for First Nations actors.”
