The Boys in the Boat is a 2023 American biographical sports drama film co-produced and directed by George Clooney from a screenplay by Mark L. Smith, based on the 2013 book of the same name by Daniel James Brown. The film stars Callum Turner and Joel Edgerton.[4]

The Boys in the Boat is scheduled to be released by Amazon MGM Studios in the United States on December 25, 2023.

Plot

The non-fiction novel describes the University of Washington crew that represented the United States in the Men's eight at the 1936 Summer Olympic games in Berlin, including the coaches, boatbuilder George Pocock, and the working class student athletes involved, especially rower Joe Rantz, who was effectively abandoned by his family and left to fend for himself at a young age.[citation needed]

Cast

The film stars Callum Turner and Joel Edgerton as Joe Rantz and Al Ulbrickson.

Production

On March 2011, The Weinstein Company preemptively acquired the film adaptation rights to the book by Daniel James Brown with Kenneth Branagh set to direct and Donna Gigliotti and Judy Hofflund producing.[12][13] In October 2018, Lantern Entertainment, which acquired The Weinstein Company's assets, contracted with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures to distribute the film worldwide.[14] In March 2020, it was announced that George Clooney would direct and produce with Grant Heslov and Mark L. Smith would write the script.[4]

In November 2021, it was announced that Callum Turner would portray Joe Rantz.[5] In February 2022, additional casting was announced, with Joel Edgerton and Hadley Robinson amongst the additions.[7] Courtney Henggeler and James Wolk would join in March,[6][10] and Chris Diamantopoulos would join in April.[11]

Filming began in March 2022,[15] and was due to take place at Winnersh Film Studios in Berkshire, as well as in Los Angeles and Berlin.[16] The 1936 Summer Olympics and scenes around the University of Washington boathouse were filmed on the Cleveland Lakes in the Cotswold Water Park near Swindon (UK), with additional scenes filmed at Molesey Boat Club.[17][18] Members of various boat clubs in the area, such as, St Hugh's Boat Club and Oriel College Boat Club from the University of Oxford, were recruited as rowers for various national teams in the Olympics.

Release

The Boys in the Boat was first screened at the reopened SIFF Cinema Downtown in Seattle on December 7, 2023.[19] It is scheduled to be released by Amazon MGM Studios on December 25, 2023.[20] In the United Kingdom it is scheduled to be released by Warner Bros. Pictures on January 12, 2024.[3]
