Veteran actor Harrison Ford is in early negotiations to star in "Call of the Wild".
The big-budget film is being adapted by 20th Century Fox from the classic 1903 Jack London novel about the Klondike gold rush of the 1890s.
If things work out, the "Indiana Jones" star will play John Thornton, a prospector braving the Yukon on the hunt for gold, reported Variety.
Thornton was previously played by Clark Gable in a 1935 film version and by Charlton Heston in a 1972 version.
Chris Sanders is directing the film from a script by Michael Green.
Erwin Stoff is producing with Diana Pokorny serving as executive producer and Ryan Stafford working as co-producer.
Production is set to start in early September.
