Harrison Ford to star in 20th Century Fox’s 'Call of the Wild'
Get out the tissues! Harrison Ford is about to adventure into the world of Jack London’s Call of the Wild.
Variety was first to report the 76-year-old ageless wonder is negotiations to star in 20th Century Fox’s CG-live action adaptation of Jack London's classic novel Call of the Wild.
Ford will play John Thornton, a 19th century prospector who befriends a 140 lb Shepherd/Saint Bernard Mix named Buck whose journey transcends from household pet to leader of the pack.
Chris Sanders (The Crowds) will direct from a script written by Michael Green (Logan). Buck, along with Wild’s other animals will receive the special effects touch by Technoprops studio, a VR production company who worked on Disney's The Jungle Book and Avatar.
Production is set to begin early September with Fox confirming a release for December 25, 2019. Sounds like the kind of role that could land Ford his second ever Oscar nomination.
