[1] Liam Neeson may need nothing more than broken minibar bottles [2] to face off against a wild wolf in The Grey, but I doubt even he could go hand-to-hand with a 700-pound grizzly bear all by himself. No, to battle a creature that big, you'd need at least three people -- like, say, James Marsden, Thomas Jane, and Billy Bob Thornton. The three actors are now set to star in a man vs. thriller titled Red Machine, from Saw V director David Hackl. More details after the jump. Written by J.R. Reher, the script revolves around two estranged brothers (Marsden and Jane) who make amends in the remote wilderness with their respective girlfriends. However, their freshly repaired bond is threatened when they're attacked and stalked by a grizzly bear nicknamed the Red Machine. Thornton will star as a "legendary bear expert and hunter" who presumably helps the boys out of their predicament.
