Liam Neeson’s 2012 survival thriller “The Grey” is leaving Netflix on Nov. 1, according to What’s on Netflix .

That leaves about a week to watch a movie that almost had a different star.

Bradley Cooper Had the Part First

Director Joe Carnahan first lined up Bradley Cooper for the lead. Carnahan had just made “The A-Team” (2010) with both actors, with Neeson as Hannibal and Cooper as Face.

Cooper was set to star before negotiations fell through, The Film Stage reported in September 2010. Neeson then went into talks for the role.

Cooper still showed up for the movie’s Los Angeles premiere on Jan. 11, 2012, where he posed with Neeson on the red carpet.

What ‘The Grey’ Is About

Neeson plays John Ottway, a sharpshooter hired to keep wolves away from the workers at a remote oil facility in Alaska. On the flight home to Anchorage, the plane goes down in the frozen wilderness.
