'The Boys In the Boat': George Clooney Film Adds 'Cobra Kai's Courtney Henggeler

George Clooney's latest directorial effort continues to pile on the star power as Cobra Kai star Courtney Henggeler joins the cast of The Boys in the Boat per Deadline. She joins the previously announced cast of Joel Edgerton , Callum Turner , Jack Mulhern , Sam Strike , Luke Slattery , Thomas Elms , Tom Varey , Bruce Herbelin-Earle , Wil Coban , and Hadley Robinson in the adaptation of Daniel James Brown's New York Times bestselling novel of the same name.

The Boys In the Boat is based on the incredible true story of the University of Washington men's rowing team, a heavy underdog who made waves during the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Led by Coach Ulbrickson , the team pulled off a miracle by winning gold at the games, overcoming extreme adversity in the face of competition that seemed leagues beyond their abilities, and cementing their legacy as one of America's greatest underdogs.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Mark L. Smith put the script together for the film based on a previous draft from Chris Weitz. Clooney and his production partner Grant Heslov will produce the underdog story through their company, Smokehouse Pictures, while Spyglass executive produces.

The Boys in the Boat has no release window yet, but it's shaping up to be a gripping tale of tribulation and triumph once it releases.Read Next Share Share Tweet Email Related Topics About The Author Ryan O'Rourke Ryan O'Rourke is a gaming news writer for Collider and lifelong gamer.
