Disney is set to come back with a new adaptation of classic Jack London story 'White Fang', which was previously tackled with its 1991 adventure movie that starred Ethan Hawke.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the writer of 'Motorcycle Diaries' Jose Rivera and Spike Jonze's longtime director of photography will be penning the new version, while award-winning cinematographer Lance Acord is set to make his feature directorial debut.
The 1991 movie told the story of a young man in Alaska during the turn-of-the-20th-century Gold Rush who comes to befriend a wolf dog during adventures involving starving wolves, Aboriginal peoples, grizzly bears and dogfighters.
It is unclear at this stage how gritty Disney plans on making Fang, but it will be a modern adaptation with the London novel as its source.
