I didn't know this movie was being made.

I just saw the commercial for it while watching football.

The Jack London book was the first book I read from beginning to end when I was a little kid.

I loved it so much I read it again as soon as I finish the first time.

The book actually made feel like I was in another world in the cold Klondike.

I have read 100 and 100 of books in my lifetime.

Very few of those books made me feel like The Call of the Wild did.

With Harrison Ford in the lead and produced by the Mouse company, this should be good.

In my opinion it’s going to be mostly ignored at the box office. Why? It’s a premise that has been done a million times before and Harrison Ford isn’t the draw he was back in the 80’s and 90’s. I saw the trailer a few weeks ago when I went to see Rise of Skywalker and I found it to be rather bland.
