Trivia

  • KENNETH BRANAGH, FIRST DIRECTOR

    Kenneth Branagh was the original director of the movie before George Clooney was hired.

  • OWNED BY HARVEY WEINSTEIN

    The Weinstein Company originally had the rights to a motion picture adaptation of 'The Boys in the Boat'. However, when the company went bankrupt following allegations of sexual misconduct by co-founder and producer Harvey Weinstein, all of its assets, including the rights to this film, were later sold to Lantern Entertainment, which then stuck a deal with MGM to co-produce the film. Lantern's position in the film was later transferred to its newly relaunched Spyglass Media Group with MGM's former chairman and CEO Gary Barber. The film was ultimately distributed in USA by Amazon MGM Studios, the new name of Amazon Studios (officially adopted in October 2023) following Amazon's acquisition of MGM in 2022.
