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.
