I really wanted to share this movie release with you. One of my friends on facebook posted the movie trailer. I don't get excited much about most movies but I am about this one.
I have heard of this author, but I have yet to read any of his books-the new movie with Harrison Ford is based on this book. Originally written for school children: Call of the Wild by Jack London which is about a St Bernard dog named Buck that ends up in the Yukon
So Of course I checked on amazon for my kindle reader and found a copy for 60 cents, and one for 99 cents that has some extras.
and here is the trailer:
This movie is to be released February 2020.
This is the first I have learned about this movie, perhaps you all have heard about it already but wanted to share. They have been filming since this September
Here is another link about the movie. and here as well
When I was looking around about this movie I discovered this has been a movie before with Rutger Hauer here Did not know that I always liked him too in the movies more information here
Update: per Susie in comments here is 1935 version
I loved the book. Didn't know about either movie. It will be something to look forward to. I like Rutger Hauer, too.
ReplyDeleteI liked the book very much. There was also another, much earlier,movie of The Call of The Wild starring Clark Gable and Lorretta Young, from 1935. I think that was a good movie, but not for children.
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see this newest version. I think the other movie versions of the book have always had younger actors in the lead rolls.
I have heard of the movie but didn't know about the remake. Looks like it will be good.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading this story in school. I hated it. I don't like any stories where animals are mistreated or hurt in some way. I also thought Buck was sad. It hurt me to read that story, Kathy. Maybe because I'm too sentimental, but I wanted to cry when I thought about it again.
ReplyDeleteSix degrees of separation. Rutger Hauer and Ford were in a movie together that I reviewed: Bladerunner.
I agree I am very opposed to abusing animals in every way. I don't watch hardly any violent movies or horror movies either. bad things sometimes happens to bad people and animals but I think in the end Buck will be very happy in this story. I never read the book but will soon just to read the actual book first before the movie
Deleteooops I didn't proof read my reply and I didn't want to delete this comment--should have read bad things sometimes happens to good people and animals (not bad people and animals)
DeleteSounds good, have fun! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI remember enjoying the book, but I haven't seen any of those movies and didn't know about the new one. Thx! It looks really good :)
ReplyDeleteI want to thank you for stopping by yesterday. Nothing is broken, but I’m so sore I can’t sit and type with one hand for any length of time. I am sending this generic message because I want you to know I stopped by and appreciate you. Thanks for understanding.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Kathy. This sounds really good. Thanks so much for sharing. Now you have me excited. Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this. I'm sure the new film will be good :)
