We got to screen The Call of the Wild a couple of weeks ago. We didn’t know what to expect with all the CGI involved in the film. I can now say, the story is so compelling that you forget you are watching a live-action/animation hybrid. The Call of the Wild employs visual effects and animation technology to bring the animals in the film to life and its so much fun to watch.

A group of us got a chance to talk with Cara Gee (Françoise), Harrison Ford (John Thornton), and director Chris Sanders. We called it a mini conference, but it was worth it. Ms Gee is nine-months pregnant, and due any time now. Mr. Ford will be working on another Indiana Jones, Indy 5 this coming summer. And director Sanders told us about how his wife found the dog that Buck was design from. Now Buckley “Buck” lives with them and is a big part of the family. To listen in on the conversations just click on the audio boxes.

Synopsis: Twentieth Century Studios’ The Call of the Wild, adapted from the novel by Jack London, 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 Canadian 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.
