William Hurt and Amber Heard have joined THE RIVER WHY, an adaptation of the 1983 Sierra Club novel by David James Duncan. Matt Leutwyler is directing. The coming-of-age tale centers on a young man named Gus and his quest for an elusive rainbow trout, which is a metaphor for the man’s internal search for self-knowledge. So you know what that means: film-major pussy. Hurt is Gus’ father, while Heard is his love interest, a tomboy fly-fisher.
When I was watching this chick in NEVER BACK DOWN, I spent most of the movie thinking damn she’s cute, and damn those are some giant breasts she has. I didn’t know whether to photoshop her into my Christmas cards, or to get a boner. I got the boner, and when I look back I like to think I made the right call, but for a moment there, yeah, it was definitely touch and go.
