Carnahan worked with Ian Jeffers who wrote the story the film is based on, of a team of survivors from a plane crash hunted by a pack of wolves. That’s one bad day.
Ridley and Tony Scott’s Scott Free are on producing duties, as they were for The A-Team.
FirstShowing have a great synopsis of the plot,
[The Grey] is about a group of pipeline workers in Alaska flying back into civilization after being remote for a number of months. The 737 they’re on goes down, and they begin to be hunted by a pack of rogue wolves. It’s very much a man vs. nature adventure, existentialist kind of drama that I want to do. We’re very, very close to it now
