According to Liam Neeson's account, the temperatures were as low as -40 degrees Celsius (-40 degrees Fahrenheit) in Smithers, British Columbia, where the film was shot. The snow storms/scenes were actual prevailing weather conditions, and not a cinematic illusion produced with CGI (interview: The Tonight Show with Jay Leno: Episode #20.70 (2012)). The cast wore thermals under their costumes for additional protection.
In his glowing review of this film, Roger Ebert stated that in his long career, this was the only time that he actually walked out of his next scheduled screening because it affected him so. "After The Grey (2011) was over, I watched the second film for thirty minutes and then got up and walked out of the theater. It was the first time I've ever walked out of a film because of the previous film. The way I was feeling in my gut, it just wouldn't have been fair to the next film."
Wolf attacks are extremely rare in North America. Only a mere handful have taken place, and mostly by animals infected by rabies. Joggers, hikers and people who have stumbled upon wolf cubs and dens are the primary victims of attacks. Wolves attacking a group of adults capable of defending themselves is unheard of, although wolves have killed thousands in Europe, Russia and Asia.
The film was originally to take place in The Yukon Territory, Canada, but the producers insisted that it take place in Alaska as to be more relatable to American audiences. Joe Carnahan went back and forth to try to keep the film's plot in the Yukon, but eventually gave up.
Ottway mentions that the "Alpha male" challenges another wolf for dominance. The theory of the Alpha Male has been a proven myth, although still prevalent in our language as being fact. Animal Behaviourist, Schenkel studied two packs of wolves living in captivity and came up with the Alpha Male theory without studying wild wolves. His studies remained the primary resource on wolf behaviour for decades. More extensive studies have found that wolves live in families: two parents along with their younger cubs. Wolves do not have an innate sense of rank; they are not born leaders or born followers. No wolf has "won" a role as leader of the pack; instead, the parents assert dominance over the offspring by virtue of being the parents.
"[repeated lines] Ottway: Once more into the fray. Into the last good fight I'll ever know. Live and die on this day. Live and die on this day."
"Ottway: [writing his suicide letter] There's not a second that goes by when I'm not thinking of you in some way. I want to see your face. Feel your hands in mine. Feel you against me. But I know that will never be. You left me, and I can't get you back... I move like I imagine the damned do, cursed. I feel like it's only a matter of time... I don't know why I'm writing this, I don't know what can come of it. I know I can't get you back. I don't know why this has happened to us. I feel like it's me. Bad luck. Poison. I've stopped doing this world any real good."
