Fast and the Furious star Paul Walker is headed to Antarctica, a forthcoming Disney-based adventure
drama.
Today's Variety scoops that Walker will play the lead role in the Mandeville-produced feature which
will be directed by Frank Marshall (Congo, Arachnophobia).

The story reportedly follows two explorers who venture to Antarctica in search of a meteorite, but
are forced to desert their sled dogs and turn back. Walker will portray a National Geographic
reporter who retraces his steps with a rescue team.

Antarctica had been schedule to start shooting in April of last year, with Bruce Hendricks (Ultimate
X: The Movie) directing, but it was delayed due to bad weather in Greenland. Josh Duhamel (Win a
Date with Tad Hamilton!) was originally attached to Walker's role.

David DiGilio wrote the script with a rewrite by Mike Rich (The Rookie).

Walker can next seen on the big screen opposite Jessica Alba in MGM's Into the Blue.

Antarctica will start shooting this winter in Canada.
