The Call of the Wild from director Chris Sanders will open wide on Dec. 25, 2019. Erwin Stoff produces from Michael Green’s script. Call of the Wild is a hybrid film based on Jack London’s novel. Technoprops, a VR production company acquired by Fox which worked on The Jungle Book, is part of the production.

If this Chris Sanders is "Lilo & Stitch/How To Train Your Dragon Chris Sanders," then sign me up!

It's lit with Sanders

 

 

Fox is really trying to commit to their plan to ramp up the amount of animated movies they make.

Kind of hope this is a straight forward adaptation and we're spared some flatulent Poochie D characters

Wait, I think I actually read the book in school.

You are not going to improve on Jack London's novel. I really hope they don't insert a happier ending,which would totally ruin the point of the novel.

I'm.... skeptical they can pull it off, but I hope they do.

Hasn't White Fang been done as a film before?

"Call of the Wild" and "White Fang"
 are two totally different Jack London novels.

"Call Of The Wild" has been filmed several times, but none of the films have come close to doing the book justice.

My feeling exactly.

 

I felt that way when I first heard about Jackson making "Lord of the Rings" into a movie.

Harrison Ford as John Thornton? Perfection. 

 

I teach this novel every year to my eighth graders.
