Wolf Dogs Lend Genuine Emotional Weight to Epic Adventure "Alpha"

Central to moving Columbia Pictures’ new epic adventure ALPHA forward, long before actors could be cast was figuring out how to portray the animals, and particularly Alpha the wolf that Keda (Kodi Smit-McPhee) befriends on his arduous journey home.

Director Albert Hughes wanted to film as much as possible in live, real terms, with genuine animals and on actual locations. The emotional weight of the movie’s central relationship depended on it.
