Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Neeson and Perlman previously shared zero scenes despite both being Hollywood heavies for decades; their diner confrontation was shot in a single six-minute take.
Moland remade his own 2014 Norwegian film 'Kraftidioten' (In Order of Disappearance) as 'Cold Pursuit' with Neeson; this is their second collaboration exploring violent men confronting obsolescence.
