THE BOYS IN THE BOAT | Official Trailer

[Defossion]

I rowed for the University of Washington for one year (1986-1987). It was the most physically demanding thing I ever experienced. I still have my race jersey; it symbolizes a "never quit" approach to life for me. I cannot wait to see this movie!

[KaydenKaser]

As someone who rows, this trailer gave me chills. I’ve been rowing since the summer before seventh grade and plan on doing it in college. I love rowing with every fiber of my being and love that rowing is getting the recognition it deserves through this movie! The book was incredible and I can’t wait to see this film!

As one of Bob Moch's grandson's i am incredibly proud to see this incredible, seemingly impossible story come to life on the screen... My grandfather told me this story many times when I was still a child and the full impact of it never really hit me until I saw this film for the first time. Again i want to thank Jenn Gibbons of the George Pocock Foundation for finding an advance ticket for me on December 12th. This story doesnt just tug at the heartstrings... It instills pride in an amazing group of men that beat all of the odds. I was able to take my adult children to see the film last night and all three of us where moved to tears at almost every moment in the film... In closing I genuinely hope that everyone is moved as much as I have been...

My Father was on the rowing team of the University of Washington during 1940’s. I heard how hard they worked and have pictures which showed him with a body builder physique. This movie is a must for me and my family!

[jeanettekettlewell]

My daughter rowed on the coed club team at Clemson University. I read the book soon after she joined the team. What these athletes go through during training and racing is incredible. My daughter's crews were successful, medaling in 17 races over 8 semesters.

Easily one of the best books I’ve ever read in my life. I can’t wait for the movie.

My Grandfather rowed for UW in the late 20s. The 1929 photo in the front of the book of the team members sawing a large log has my grandfather, Gail W Burleigh, in it. At Grandpa Burleigh’s funeral, his 3rd son, said he was most proud of his rowing for UW. He was a a dry land boy, very poor, but played defensive end for football in high school and a short time for UW.

However, he couldn’t stay in college and had to return to Great Falls to help his single mother pay bills. He was a husband, father to 4 sons, and a cattle rancher in MT the rest of his life. He also helped fight the MannGulch fire of 1949 since he owned the Beartooth ranch close to where to smoke jumpers died.
Looking forward to this movie, Susan

I was a singles' sculler in one of the very few university programs that offered sculling in the US. While the training is brutal (esp in early spring, we're talking 5:30 am wake up calls in the freezing cold, followed by the dreaded erg machine), there is something hauntingly beautiful about rowing on the water when all that hard work just comes together. I do miss it.

[kateluxor]

Based on a true story. I watched a special done by PBS about these young men and their coach. Remarkable story. They were incredible. All the obstacles that were put in their way yet they still managed to overcome each one. That documentary was fantastic and I still think about it. I had no idea they'd made a movie out of it. The trailer looks good. I hope George Clooney does this story and those who lived it along with their families, justice. I'll keep my fingers crossed when I go see it.

I grew up in Seattle and went to the University of Washington, and I loved the book in part for what it told about both during the 1930s. The book in its organization and presentation almost felt like a screenplay so I’ve been envisioning a movie for nearly a decade. I’m disappointed that they didn’t shoot in Seattle but I’m hopeful that I’ll like the film.

[Bellaanbi]

As a former high school rower, I'm excited to see the sport highlighted on the global stage. It was the hardest and most fulfilling thing I ever did, and taught me work ethic and passion for everything I do, even 35 years later.

[RobertWise-pi]

I rowed for the University of San Diego and still row with friends 40 years later. I still am friends with the guys I rowed with, it changed my life. This was an awesome book. This is a great sport for kids to get into.

Finally, a studio that knows how to make a trailer, with inspiring music and an uplifting story. Who knew?

[sehee]

Currently reading the book. As a foreigner and resident near UW, it is amazing to see the background of that era and spirit of crew. Cannot wait to see the movie! Go dawgs!

[cbrooks]

Cannot wait to see this - the book was amazing... always destined for the big screen, and a group of heroes that are long overdue for their recognition...

[lancer]

As a crew rower this is just amazing. There’s hardly any movies about crew rowing and this looks like it will be the best one.

[PatMcAnn]

My mom went to Roosevelt in the 40s and one of these young men was her teacher. Looking forward to seeing this- Go Dawgs!

[marcienorris]

I rowed for UW in 86-87, and 87-88. After college I worked at Foster Pepper & Shefelman for Cam Hall. One of the firm's partners was coxswain Bob Moch! I wish he could have seen this...!

[geoffmarciaharding]

It was a great movie! Loved the entire storyline. Life has enough real drama without Hollywood having to pump out garbage. When America was humble, men were resilient, and courage and sacrifice were thought worthy efforts.

[jadziaidaris]

I rowed for nearly 30 years competitively and recreationally. I'm currently on haitus from rowing but it has a deep place in my heart. I hope to get back in the boat soon. Loved this book and can't wait to see the movie.
