With writer-director Jonathan Hensleigh’s The Ice Road now streaming on Netflix, I recently spoke to Amber Midthunder about making the action-thriller. The film is about a big-rig ice road driver (Liam Neeson) that must lead a rescue mission across a frozen ocean to save dozens of trapped minors in Northern Canada. It’s a race against time to save everyone from running out of oxygen, and as they drive across the frozen water, they have to content with thawing waters, a massive storm, and a threat no one saw coming. The Ice Road also stars Benjamin Walker, Marcus Thomas and Laurence Fishburne.
During the interview, Midthunder talked about why everyone loves watching Liam Neeson punch people in the face, why she wanted to be part of the film, what she knew about the ice road before getting involved, the TV series she’d like to guest star on, her thoughts on the way Legion ended, and if she misses playing Kerry Loudermilk. In addition, with rumors swirling that Midthunder will be starring in director Dan Trachtenberg’s secret Predator movie, I tried to get her to talk about it.
Check out what she had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about.
