Moriarty was trained to ride the big waves of Northern California's Mavericks by Rick "Frosty" Hesson played by Gerard Butler. The movie also stars Elisabeth Shue, Leven Rambin and Abigail Spencer.

I love the sport of surfing, and as a fan and surfer myself I've been looking forward to seeing how Gerard Butler's new surfing movie Chasing Mavericks turned out.
The film tell the true life story of Jay Moriarty, played by Jonny Weston. He was trained to ride the big waves of Northern California's Mavericks by Rick "Frosty" Hesson which is who Butler plays. The swells at Mavericks can get of five stories high! It's quite a sight to see, and the fact that surfers paddle into these bad boys is insane!
The movie also stars Elisabeth Shue, Leven Rambin, and Abigail Spencer, and it hits theaters on October 26th. It actually looks pretty good for a surfing movie! Check out the trailer below and let us know if it's a film that sparks your interest! Would you ever try to ride a wave that big?

Looks like we've got a new surf film going into production. The movie is called Mavericks and Gerard Butler (300) is set to star in it. This is exciteing for me because I love surfing. The movie is based on a true story in which Butler will play Rick "Frosty" Hesson the man who trained Jay Moriarty to surf the incredibly huge waves at the treacherous Northern California surf break known as Mavericks. Moriarty is a freakin' big wave legend amoung surfers. Unfortuntely he died in 2001 from a free-diving accident a day before he turned 23 years old. I think it's awesome that a movie is being made that celebrates his life.
The movie is set to be directed Curtis Hanson is set to direct from a script by Kario Salem and Brandon Hooper. Hanson is currently on the hunt for a young actor to play Moriarity. The film is scheduled to start shooting in October.
