00:02 Hey! Move!

00:04 It was important for us to make sure

00:06 that we served the story that the book told us.

00:08 [Grunts]

00:09 We didn't have to change the truth.

00:12 You just had to pick what parts of the story

00:14 you were gonna tell.

00:16 It was very obvious that George,

00:18 he really got the spirit of the book.

00:20 The boys, that boat, that's how I got it.

00:22 Joe Rance, he wanted to meet me.

00:24 He'd talk about how he had joined the crew

00:26 at the University of Washington.

00:28 I'd said, "Joe, can I write a book about your life?"

00:30 And he said, "No, but you could write a book

00:32 about the boys who had rowed with him."

00:35 You're all here because we're looking for

00:36 the eight most qualified young men to fill out J.V. Boat.

00:40 -Row! -Row!

00:42 We worked with Mark Smith,

00:43 and he wrote a terrific screenplay.

00:45 If it had been fiction, I probably would have pulled back

00:47 because no one's gonna buy that this could have happened.

00:49 I got nine seconds under the course record.

00:52 Look, it is true.

00:53 You don't root for the guy who has everything.

00:54 You root for the guy that was cleaning the dugout.

00:57 I've never had so many people come up to me

00:59 and tell me, "When can I see it?"

01:01 We had to screen it for the author,

01:02 and there's Dan crying.

01:04 That really made us feel like we did the right thing.

01:06 If it could touch me, it's gonna touch a lot of viewers.

01:10 Look at Washington! I don't believe what I'm seeing!

01:13 Those nine boys that came together in that boat

01:16 were the greatest rowers in the world.

01:17 What was really spectacular was they did it out of necessity.

01:21 It drives their story, and it drives this film.

01:24 As one! As one!

01:27 (dramatic music)
