Watch: Behind-the-Scenes of 'Nyad' w/ Annette Bening & Jodie Foster

"I will not accept defeat!" Swim on, Nyad, swim on. Netflix has debuted a behind-the-scenes featurette for Nyad, which is set for both a theatrical and streaming release this week. This first premiered at the 2023 Telluride Film Festival, with stops at London and TIFF in the fall festival season. Annette Bening, Jodie Foster, and Rhys Ifans all star in NYAD to tell a remarkable true story of athlete Diana Nyad who, at the age of 60 and with the help of her best friend & coach, commits to achieving her life-long dream: a 110-mile open ocean swim from Cuba to Florida. It really happened! It's also the first narrative feature made by the Oscar-winning documentary filmmakers Jimmy Chin & Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, known for Meru, Free Solo, The Rescue, and this year's Wild Life (all great films). This featurette dives into the making of the film, mainly focusing on casting Annette & Jodie and their experience working with Jimmy & Chai on their first narrative feature after many docs before. Check it out - and watch for the film in theaters / on Netflix soon. // Continue Reading ›
