Annette Bening to star as Diana Nyad.
Annette Bening will be playing marathon swimmer Diana Nyad in the movie version of her fifth attempt to do a 180 km swim from Cuba to Florida in 2013.
The directors of the successful Oscar-winning doco Free Solo will be at the helm. The producers were behind Oscar BP nominees and box-office hits American Sniper and The Imitation Game.

Poor Nettie, still desperate and chasing that elusive Oscar. Doesn't her old husband have an extra statuette she could pleasure herself with?

Based on OP's pic, she should star as Elizabeth Warren.

Will there be a steamy scissoring scene?

This movie appears to be moving forward!
Two-time Academy Award and recent Globe winner Jodie Foster has joined the cast. She'll play Nyad's coach and friend Bonnie Stoll.
This movie just got 100% more lesbian. Woo-hoo! Go ANNETTE.

Apparently, Diane Nyad is a huge liar.

Yay! Another Biopic. How the hell does Hollywood come up with such a brilliant idea again and again? It just baffles me.

I’ve seen her on stage for years, from Coastal Disturbances to All My Sons. My favorite movie role of hers is in The Grifters.

Let me see if I have the screenplay written in my mind.
Woman tries to swim from one place to another that nobody cares about.
Woman keeps having to quit the swim.
Woman finally does one of the swims that no one cares about, thereby becoming a hero to nobody but herself.
