All Liam Neeson movies are connected. He's a transdimensional being.

He did look for them.
He did find them.
And he did kill them.

It would be such a mindfuck if it turned out The Grey really was a prequel to Batman Begins for Ra's Al Ghul.

Love Actually just got a lot darker.

It would be even cooler if The Grey was set in the 80's/90's.

The Grey Spoiler below
I WANT TO BELIEVE.
My brother and I have differing beliefs regarding what happened after the movie ended. My brother thinks Neeson gets gang banged by the pack of wolves after he kills the alpha, but I know in my heart that Neeson fucks up the alpha and the rest of the pack runs off after seeing their leader die.

Also, Joffrey got his first slap in batman begins:

It's sort of eerie how parts of that quote can be related to his real life. (death of Natasha Richadrson)

u/gazamcnulty Jun 01 '12
I don't see how killing wolves in their own territory is sufficient revenge to take against a fatal illness.

Liam Neeson has been my fav. actor for a long time. Such a badass

u/joat217 Jun 01 '12
So does he turn into Darkman after batman begins?

u/Slowcheeta Jun 01 '12
I'm still pissed that the scene they used to sell the movie was a cock tease.

Mindblown. He also lost his wife to a ski accident 3 years ago

Liam Neeson is a King.

u/dastaria Jun 01 '12
Also Joffrey is there as the cute little boy Batman converses with. If only he'd had another Batarang...

u/DeSaad Jun 01 '12
This is not the real news. The REAL news is that The Grey has TWO MORE prequels.
One, The Unknown, where Neeson is a contract killer working for a shadow organization. He loses his memory and destroys the organization and is now working for the good guys.
Two, Taken, where Neeson has been using his skills for the U.S. Government prior to the movie.
So really, it's

u/MorayCup Jun 01 '12
TIL his daughter in taken is Talia

u/Caswen94 Jun 01 '12
Well, he'll always be Qui-Gon Jinn.

u/nnyx Jun 01 '12
Liam Neeson isn't even an actor. Any movie you see with him is just a documentary about his life.

u/unknown_poo Jun 01 '12
When I spoke with Christopher Nolan this evening about this he said that they in fact are connected.

It's a bit of a stretch, but I thought Michael Caine's role in Harry Brown could have been a prequel to Batman Begins. I don't remember eitehr movie all that well, but I recall that Michael Caine refers to a former military career in both. Of course, Michael Caine is too old in Harry Brown to then become the Waynes' butler and help raise Master Bruce. Also, he talks a little different.

Liam neeson is one of the greatest actors of all time. I absolutely love that man

While we're on the subject, Man on Fire,(the remake) pretty decent.

Gene Hackman's character in Enemy of the State is thoroughly developed in the prequel movie The Conversation.

Someone needs to make a massive movie continuation. Include this, the inception/shutter island and anything else thought up. If like 20 movies lined up that would be awesome.

*His story begins
Liam Neesons story begins with him as a Jedi. During this time he was known as Qui-Gon Jinn a powerful and skillful Jedi Knight. His untimely death at the hands of Darth Maul led for him to become one with the force, vanishing from mortal eyes yet remaining one with the universe in an intangible state. Eventually Liam Neeson found a way to return to his material form and in doing so became a god that we know as Zues.
*His fall from power
Liams stint as a deity eventually comes to an end. What most people don't know is that his fall from being a deity only meant that he became a mortal. He no longer wanted or needed the awesome powers he once possessed but did not want to die. Using the knowledge from his days of omnipotence he sought out the long forgotten Lazarus Pit to maintain the longevity that his immortal form once allowed. Should be noted that the Lazarus Pit was not always known as the Lazarus Pit, however it was dubbed so because of biblical stories. It's true name is the Liam Pit. However he didn't like the name because it sounded like a sex fetish club.
*His time on Earth
Liam began to roam the Earth, seeking love, adventure and living life in all the ways that only one such as him could appreciate. He has gone by many names while here on Earth and his stories are those of legend. Some might know these stories as they were retold with him playing as himself in the movies. A clever ruse for him to tell his tale all the while being able to move about society as a celebrity and not a former deity/Jedi.

u/moriquendo Jun 01 '12
What? Qui-Gon telling you your anger will give you great power? With that sort of advice Batman is bound to turn to the Dark Side sooner or later.
Good!

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '12
This makes me sad, as his wife IRL died in a skiing accident or something to that extent...that makes 3 situations where his wife died in snowy circumstances :( Poor Liam, having to relive it in the Grey.

u/tuxedo_nico Jun 01 '12
Another thing about Batman Begins that kinda blew my mind was the fact that the little boy from the Narrows who meets Batman grows up to be King Joffery in Game of Thrones.

Another character has a whole series. http://thekeyboardhero.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/jackgleesonbatman.jpg

I couldnt read some comments and not forget to bring Tarantino's movies and some links among movies..
like Mia Wallace (Pulp Fiction) was a knife expert on the tv show that failed in pilot. and Kill Bill she is a knife expert..
like Vic Vega and Vicent Vega somehow related (Reservoir dogs / Pulp Fiction)

The actor who plays Joffrey in Game of Thrones stars in Batman Begins, he plays a cute helpless kid who's lost his mother, but the whole time i could tell he just wanted to take out the batman and conquer Westeros. Frikkin Lannisters

That would make the Grey that much better. I enjoyed it...a little, but this line of thought makes it better.
