Harrison Ford 'in negotiations' to star in Fox's motion-capture adaptation of Call of the Wild
Harrison Ford is reportedly 'in negotiations' to star in 20th Century Fox's adaptation of Jack London's classic 1903 novel Call of the Wild about the Klondike gold rush of the 1890s.
Now that Disney postponed Indiana Jones 5, the 76-year-old Oscar nominee would be available to begin the role of Yukon gold prospector John Thornton in 'early September' - according to Variety.
Previous big-screen adaptations of Call of the Wild include Ken Annakin's 1972 flick starring Charlton Heston, and William A. Wellman's b&w 1935 version starring Clark Gable.

It would be the first live action film for director Chris Sanders, who previously helmed animated movies The Croods, How to Train Your Dragon, and Lilo & Stitch.
The Alaskan sled dog drama - hitting US theaters Christmas 2019 - will be penned by Michael Green (Logan), and it will utilize motion-capture technology from Fox VFX Lab's Technoprops.
The Star Wars veteran's casting news came four days after his castmate Billie Lourd wished him a happy 76th birthday with a snap of the twosome alongside Mark Hamill.
