Morgan Freeman, Harry Connick Jr. and Ashley Judd are in negotiations to star in "
Dolphin Tale," Warner Bros.-based Alcon Entertainment's inspirational animal tale being directed by Charles Martin Smith.
The movie version centers on 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.
