He's going from racing street cars to digging out chunks of hundred-thousand year-old ice. THE FAST AND FURIOUS star Paul Walker has landed the leading role in ANTARCTICA for Walt Disney Pictures.

The film's story follows two arctic explorers who set out to locate and retrieve a meteorite from a remote part of the icy wasteland. Midway through their journey the pair have to give up their quest and head back, faced with no choice but to leave their sled dogs behind. Walker's character is a National Geographic reporter that, with the help of a rescue party, leads the way back to recover the pooches.

The film is based on a true story. Frank Marshall is directing from a script by David DiGilio and Mike Rich.
