22. Togo

Willem Dafoe The Great Wall
Universal

Togo will tell the story of the 1925 serum run to Nome, which saw a number of dog-sled teams carrying diphtheria antitoxin serum through treacherous conditions for over 700 miles to reach the Alaskan town of Nome and save it from an epidemic.

The film will focus on Leonhard Seppala, a dog musher who played a pivotal role in the run, and his lead dog, Togo, with Willem Dafoe taking on the lead role (as Seppala, not the dog), and it comes from director Ericson Core, who, er, made the Point Break remake.
