Fox has released the first official still for Of Men and Mavericks, the film about the life of extraordinary young surfer Jay Moriarty who made a name for himself at 16 when he surfed the breakneck section of California coast called Mavericks. You may remember we brought you quite a few pics from the set during filming last fall. C’mon! You remember…Gerard Butler in a wetsuit!
Jonny Weston plays Moriarty and Butler plays his mentor Frosty Hesson. (You may also remember that G nearly drowned when he was knocked off his board by a monster wave and held under for two more, back in December.)
That wasn’t the only crisis to befall the film, Academy Award nominated director Curtis Hanson was felled by health problems and had to be replaced by Michael Apted for the final weeks of filming. Hanson is said to be on the road to recovery but no word as to whether he’s resumed control of the film in the post-production phase.
"Centers on the late Jay Moriarity and his quest to ride the iconic Northern California break known as Mavericks, where winter swells bring in treacherous waves the size of five-story buildings.
Moriarity trained for more than a year under mentor Frosty Hesson, and in the process the two forged a unique relationship that ultimately transformed both their lives. Moriarity's story remains an inspiration to surfers around the globe, who've coined the phrase, "Live like Jay."
Of Men and Mavericks also stars Elisabeth Shue, Leven Rambin, Abigail Spencer, Taylor Handley and Scott Eastwood. It’s due to open in the US October 26 and 2nd November in the UK.
