Manitoba residents shouldn't be surprised if they spot Taken star Liam Neeson around the northern part of the province next year, as he'll be filming a new flick called The Ice Road there starting in February.

#Winnipeg will be seeing @the_liamneeson soon! I sense a chase scene; an ice road chase scene, & where there are chase scenes, there are #drone shots!

Welcome to #Winnipeg Liam! Check out the Olympia Diner for the best Greek Salad when you’re in town!https://t.co/6wOsg8k8jI

The movie, which seems to be at least partly inspired by the History Channel show Ice Road Truckers, features Irish action actor Neeson in a typically Neesony role: a big rig driver who has to brave the wintry wilds of Canada to save a group of trapped miners.

A big storm and some thawing oceanic ice (thanks, climate change!) complicate the rescue mission, but if we know anything about Liam Neeson, he'll end up saving the day. 

Thank you Winnipeg Free Press for this fantastic article about the upcoming film “The Ice Road” starring Liam Neeson. MFM is so proud of Manitoba’s growing film industry!https://t.co/gueSV1gjlm

The production will take place entirely within the province, and includes an almost entirely Manitoban crew. Even some of the movie's cast will be local.

Filming is taking place in and around the city of Winnipeg, as well as in the town of Gimli, which borders Lake Winnipeg.

@ThatKevinSmith Liam Neeson is filming a movie based in manitoba and actually filming here. Wierd...

Lucky for Neeson, he already has some familiarity filming in the middle of a Canadian prairie winter — his 2019 movie Cold Pursuit, in which he played a snow plow driver seeking revenge on a drug lord, was filmed mostly in Alberta.
