Togo and Seppala: un nuovo live-action in preparazione in casa Disney

Secondo indiscrezioni, la Disney starebbe sviluppando un nuovo film in live-action intitolato Togo and Seppala, con protagonisti un coraggioso cane dal slitta e il suo padrone. Il progetto è ancora in fase di studio ma secondo le indiscrezioni avrebbe già uno sceneggiatore.

Secondo Tracking Board, lo studio avrebbe ingaggiato Tom Flynn per lo script. La trama dovrebbe ruotare attorno ad una corsa nota come Grande Corsa della Misericordia (Great Race of Mercy), nella quale i cani da slitta ebbero un ruolo fondamentale nel trasporto di un importante siero curativo, percorrendo in condizioni difficilissime quasi 700 miglia per salvare la città da una epidemia. Il progetto non ha ancora un produttore ufficiale, ma sarebbe sotto supervisione per conto dello studio da parte di Jessica Virtue e Louie Provost.

Production Start Date Set For Exclusive Disney Streaming Service Film ‘Togo’

Just a little over two years ago it was reported that Disney was in development on a live-action movie about two of the key figures in the 1925 Nome Serum Run — sled dog Togo and sled driver Leonhard Seppala, titled Togo. Since then news on the project has been quiet, until now.

We have learned that the film will begin production on September 24th. Filming will take place in place in Alberta, Canada and is expected to wrap sometime in early March.

In the 1925 Nome Serum Run, dog sleds transported diphtheria serum over nearly 700 miles to save the city from an epidemic, and this film focuses on two key figures, sled dog Togo and driver Leonhard Seppala. Togo was born sickly and small, and required special care from Seppala’s wife. He only grew to around 48 lbs. as an adult, which is considered too small to make a lead dog. But Togo proved himself with his spirit and tenacity by jumping through a kennel window and running miles back to Seppala after he tried to give him away. During Seppala’s runs, Togo would follow the teams and lead them off the trail in charges against reindeer; Seppala had no choice but to put him in a harness to keep the other dog’s on task, and to his surprise, Togo calmed down immediately and shared the lead position by the end of his first run. Most people close to the story consider Balto the backup dog, as Togo led Seppala’s sled through the most dangerous territory of the run. In fact, Seppala was angry hat Hollywood had wanted to do a film that about Balto and the run without any mention of Togo. Now, there’s an opportunity to set the story straight, and give Togo the scratchbehind-the-ear he deserves.

Togo will be directed by Ericson Core, Who directed Disney’s Invincible in 2006, from a script by Tom Flynn (Gifted). Doug Jones is on board as a producer. The film is expected to be ready to debut for Disney’s streaming service in Fall 2019.
