The Wildest Dream, a National Geographic movie about climber Conrad Anker finding George Mallory’s body on Mount Everest 75 years after his death, comes out on DVD on March 15, 2011. You can pre-order it through Virgil Films and other online DVD sellers.
Here’s the description of the movie from the website:
George Mallory was obsessed with becoming the first person to conquer the untouched Mount Everest. He was last seen 800 feet below the summit in 1924, before the clouds rolled in and he disappeared into legend. His death stunned the world.
75 years later, climber Conrad Anker’s life became intertwined with Mallory’s after finding his frozen body with all his belongings intact. The only thing missing was a photograph of his wife, Ruth, which Mallory had promised to place on the summit. Haunted by Mallory’s story, Conrad Anker returns to Everest with British climbing prodigy Leo Houlding to unravel the mysteries surrounding his disappearance.
And the trailer:
Also still missing from Mallory’s climb is the body of his partner, Sandy Irvine, and the Kodak camera they would have used had they reached the summit. Chris, I am hoping it will remain a mystery while I finish publishing the 5 volume, 1500 page graphic novel on this topic “The Summit of the Gods” by Baku and Taniguchi. Can I send you a copy of volume 1?
