44 | FEBRUARY 20 • 2020 

AT THE MOVIES

Opening on Friday, Feb. 21, are 
The Call of the Wild and The 
Invisible Man. Call is based on 
the famous 1903 novel by Jack 
London. It’
s the story of Buck, 
a very big dog whose idyllic life 
in Northern California ends when 
he is stolen and transported to 
the Alaskan Yukon during the 
Gold Rush of the 1890s. Buck is 
mistreated by a series of owners, 
who have him lead a team of 
sled dogs hauling heavy loads of 
supplies and, later, the mail. 
 Buck has reached a low point 
physically when John Thornton 
(Harrison Ford, 77) comes into 
his life. Thornton nurses Buck 
back to health, and they form an 
inseparable bond. There’
s more 
— but I won’
t spoil it for you.
Here’
s hoping that the movie 
is a smash because it has been 
a long time since Ford, whose 
late mother was Jewish, has 
starred in a hit big-budget film, 
apart from the newest Star Wars 
movies. In the last 10 years, he 
has had major roles in just two 
films that earned more than they 
cost to make (42 and The Age of 
Adaline). All the big budget mov-
ies (like Blade Runner: 2049) that 
he’
s starred in have flopped or 
just broke even.
The film was written by 
Michael Green, 46. This New 
York native is the son of an Israeli 
mother and an American Jewish 

father. He started as a TV writer 
(Sex and the City). In 2007, he 
was Emmy-nominated for his 
work on the TV series Heroes. In 
2018, he was nominated for a 
Best Screenplay Oscar for Logan. 
The plot of The Invisible Man is 
a substantial departure from the 
1897 novel by H.G. Wells or the 
famous 1933 Invisible Man film. 
Elisabeth Moss stars as Cecilia, 
a woman trapped in an abusive 
marriage to a wealthy and bril-
liant scientist (British actor Oliver 
Jackson-Cohen, 33). Aided by 
her sister, Cecilia escapes and 
goes into hiding. Shortly thereaf-
ter, her husband apparently com-
mits suicide. Celicia is convinced 
his death is a hoax. She desper-
ately tries to convince others that 
she is being hunted by someone 
she can’
t see.

BATTLING BERNSTEINS 
On Jan. 22, it was announced 
that Netflix was fully backing 
a Leonard Bernstein biopic 
starring Bradley Cooper as the 
famous composer and conductor. 
Cooper, who showed his musi-
cal chops in the latest version 
of A Star is Born, will also will 
direct, produce and co-write 
the film (with Josh Singer, 48, 
who won an Oscar for his script 
for Spotlight). Last July, it was 
announced that Jake Gyllenhaal, 
39, would play Bernstein in a film 
called The American. It’
s unclear 
whether that film will be made 
following the Netflix announce-
ment.
