Fan favorites Leighton Meester, Taran Killam and Adam Brody are joining forces for a reboot of the 1994 hit ‘The River Wild’.
The original thriller directed by Curtis Hanson watched as a family was forced to combat a pair of violent criminals in the wilderness while on a whitewater rafting trip. Meryl Streep, Kevin Bacon, David Strathairn, John C. Reilly, Benjamin Bratt and Joseph Mazzello starred in the pic scripted by Denis O’Neill. The film grossed over $94M worldwide, with both Streep and Bacon landing Golden Globe noms for their performances.
The new film from director Ben Ketai (StartUp) follows a brother (Killam) and sister (Meester) who love but distrust each other, as they embark on a white-water rafting trip with a small group, including the siblings’ childhood friend (Brody), who turns out to be more dangerous than he appears.
