Cast in Talks for Dolphin Tale
Directed by Charles Martin Smith off a script by Karen Janszen, Dolphin Tale is based on a real story that follows a boy who befriends an injured dolphin who lost her tail in a crab trap. Through their bond and friendship, the boy motivates everyone around him to help save the dolphin by creating a prosthetic appendage to replace the dolphin's tail. The marine mammal's strong survival instincts become an inspiration to people with special needs throughout the world.
Connick Jr. plays a vet who rescues the mammal and brings her to runs the marine hospital he runs. Judd plays the boy's mother while Freeman is a doctor who creates a prosthetic limb for Winter [the dolphin].
This very same dolphin still hangs out at Clearwater Marine Aquarium.
