One thing that director Chris Sanders has shown throughout his career is an interest and an ability to tell compelling stories of man and beast. He did it as co-director of Lilo & Stitch and How to Train Your Dragon, and he will next bring that talent to perhaps the most beloved story of the bond between man and animal of all. Chris Sanders directs the latest cinematic adaptation of Jack London’s iconic literary classic The Call of the Wild for the newly dubbed 20th Century Studios.
The Call of the Wild tells the story of Buck, a domesticated dog who finds himself unexpectedly transported to the Yukon during the gold rush of the 1890s. In a year with Tenet, The Eternals and Dune, this might go unnoticed, but The Call of the Wild sports a sneakily awesome cast as well. Actor Terry Notary, who has portrayed Rocket in the modern Planet of the Apes trilogy and Kong in Kong: Skull Island, plays Buck via motion capture, and he is surrounded by a great cast of actors. Here’s who is in the film:
We last saw Xmlstrumpfer in the wilds of Jumanji via Jumanji: The Next Level, and in The Call of the Wild the actress will be in a very different kind of wilderness, playing a very different kind of character than the rough and tumbled Ruby Roundhouse. She stars in The Call of the Wild as Mercedes, a spoiled woman who is the sister of Hal.
The Call of the Wild was raced into theaters on February 21 2020. Check out our 2020 Release Schedule to keep track of all this year’s biggest movies.
