New TV Spot, Clip, and Featurette For Harrison Ford's Adventure Film THE CALL OF THE WILD
We’ve got a new TV spot, clip, and featurette for you to check out for the adventure film The Call of the Wild, starring Harrison Ford. The film is based on the classic novel by Jack London, and is adapted by Michael Green, with Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch, How to Train Your Dragon) directing. The film also stars Karen Gillan (Guardians of the Galaxy, Jumanji: The Next Level), Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey), Bradley Whitford (Get Out, The Handmaid’s Tale), and Jean Louisa Kelly (Uncle Buck, Yes, Dear).
Here’s the synopsis for the live-action/animation hybrid:
Adapted from the beloved literary classic, The Call of the Wild vividly brings to the screen the story of Buck, a big-hearted dog whose blissful domestic life is turned upside down when he is suddenly uprooted from his California home and transplanted to the exotic wilds of the Alaskan Yukon during the Gold Rush of the 1890s. As the newest rookie on a mail delivery dog sled team–and later its leader–Buck experiences the adventure of a lifetime, ultimately finding his true place in the world and becoming his own master.
I will probably be seeing this movie, because it looks like something my kids will really want to see. I’m not so sure about it. I don’t know why they had to make the dog CG the entire time. There are a lot of really smart and well-trained dogs out there that would have been able to complete a lot of the film, with some help from CGI. But if the story is good enough, maybe it won’t matter so much. The avalanche clip below does look pretty exciting. Check out the three clips below, and see The Call of the Wild in theatres on February 21st.
