awesome line of work on this motion-picture show . I knew that as soon as there ’s a dog involved , it was gon na get me aright in the feels . I did n’t even put this together ; this is eighth grade recital for me . I remember read this book when I was a kid . What draw you toThe Call of the Wild ?
Cara g : I mean , this is a aspiration role of a lifetime for me . There ’s everything ; everything that could possibly pull in you to a office draw me to the function . I ’ve got a great character to bet , Harrison Ford , Omar Sy , you know ?
It ’s a pipe dream . It ’s a ambition . The imagination and the physical challenges of the role were really fun . We get to spiel ; we receive to joke and express joy . It was a pipe dream .
Sledding is something that I do n’t think I ’d be very upright at . But let ’s utter about some of the challenges in training that went into you guys looking like pro - sledders out there .
Cara Gee : Pros ? We ’ll take it .
Was that a hard challenge , learning how to do that poppycock ?
Cara Gee : Yeah , it was challenge .
Omar Sy : Yeah , of course . It ’s not comfortable , because it goes very , very fast . And the main government issue is there is no dogs . So , being in the sled without dogs -
Cara Gee : Being pulled by a Mexican valium !
Omar Sy : It was kind of question at the commencement , but at the oddment it was like you suppose , like being on a rollercoaster every day . It was so fun at the end .
One thing you brought up is that there are n’t any dogs . I sleep with the fact that they kind of humanized the dogs with the looks on their face , because it makes them substantial characters . Can you talk to me about the challenges , whether it be strong or easy , playing with no dogs , essentially ?
Cara Gee : Well , we were very fortunate to have Terry Notary play Buck . And he was unbelievable . He ’s an incredible actor , and an amazing human being . He gives us everything . Everything that you see Buck doing , he was doing the motions .
Omar Sy : Yeah , and I think there was no way to do that without him , because you’re able to not recreate the adherence between Buck and Francois and Perrault without that . Because a lawn tennis ball can not give you that . He was Buck , you love . Looking into your eyes and [ deliver ] that connecter , you could not vivify that . There ’s something that has to chance , and hopefully we have him .
In the first part of this movie , you guys are very impactful with Buck ’s training and his heart towards mankind . babble to me about what role your characters play in Buck ’s storyline .
Cara Gee : Well , I think that sort of the function of these eccentric in the setting of the tale is that Buck bounces off of us to become a better version of himself . So yeah , you said it , that we ’re like the mum and dad . I think that ’s so it .
Omar Sy : Yeah , yeah . And they give him the confidence to move forward and become who he has to become . And I think we all need that in our lives , and we are so felicitous and proud to be that for him . And we are so majestic , because we see his baby , you know ?
Cara Gee : We ’re proud grandparents . We ’re grandparents !
