Morgan Freeman Talks About “Dolphin Tale”
Independent Films, Kids, Interviews, Film Profiles
When I first met Morgan Freeman for “Born to be Wild,” he called me the “happiest man on Earth.” So I was curious to see if he still deemed me as a fun-loving creature, and he said yes!
In the fantastic family film “Dolphin Tale,” Freeman stars as Dr. Cameron McCarthy, the prosthetics doctor who gave Winter a new chance on life by giving her the tail. The star shows up in the film with an unkempt look but with a very neatly-tied bowtie. In this interview, we talked about:
What attracted him to his character in the movie?
The look of his character
Working with Ashley Judd for the third time
Freeman is becoming the quintessential science man such as his Science Channel show, “Through the Worm Hole”
His attraction to science
Bonding with Animals
HAVE FUN!
Transcripts / Production notes / Scripts
Swimming free, a young dolphin is caught in a crab trap, severely damaging her tail. She is rescued and transported to the Clearwater Marine Hospital, where she is named Winter. But her fight for survival has just begun. Without a tail, Winter's prognosis is dire. It will take the expertise of a dedicated marine biologist, the ingenuity of a brilliant prosthetics doctor, and the unwavering devotion of a young boy to bring about a groundbreaking miracle -- a miracle that might not only save Winter but could also help scores of people around the world. The real Winter, who plays herself in "Dolphin Tale," today serves as a symbol of courage, perseverance and hope to millions of people -- both able and disabled -- who have been touched by her remarkable story of recovery and rehabilitation.
