The Weinstein Company has announced the cast for their upcoming film based on the Dan Brown novel, The Boys in the Boat, which is set in the 1930s and centers around the University of Washington's powerhouse rowing team.
"We had come to an agreement with USRowing to cast the winners of the NSR as two of the rowers," said director Kenneth Branagh, "so now that the regatta has concluded, we are happy to announce all the boys."
When reached for comment about the casting, former Harvard rower and NSR winner Michael DiSanto said, "I'll never row for Washington."
Former Washington rower Rob Munn just responded to DiSanto, "WOOF!"
