Josh Duhamel will join the ensemble of the survival thriller “Not Without Hope,” an adaptation of Nick Schuyler and Jere Longman’s best-selling book that will be written and directed by Joe Carnahan. Also joining the cast are JoBeth Williams, Quentin Plair, Terrence Terrell and Marshall Cook.
As previously announced, Zachary Levi (“Shazam!”) is starring in the film, which tells the real-life story of a tragic 2009 boating accident involving Schuyler, his friends Will Bleakley (Cook) and NFL players Marquis Cooper (Plair) and Corey Smith (Terrell). Levi will play Schuyler.
The search-and rescue-operation captivated national attention. Duhamel will portray U.S. Coast Guard Captain Timothy Close, who oversaw a crew that cut through the ocean to try to find the friends who went missing. Carnahan has some experience orchestrating survival tales, having previously directed “The Grey,” which found Liam Neeson battling very hungry wolves after a plane crash stranded his character in a snowy mountain range.

As actors go, Ron Silver, who died Sunday at age 62, was a real winner. In 1988, he took both the Tony and Drama Desk awards as lead actor in a play for portraying a combative wannabe film producer named Charlie Fox in David Mamet's "Speed-the-Plow" on Broadway. For the Tony, Ron Silver beat Derek Jacobi ("Breaking the Code"), John Lithgow ("M. Butterfly"), and Robert Prosky ("A Walk in the Woods").
"Mr. Silver gives the performance of his career," wrote Frank Rich in the New York Times. "While one expects this actor to capture Charlie's cigar-chomping vulgarity, Mr. Silver's frightening eruptions of snarling anger and crumpled demeanor in the face of defeat make what could be another Beverly Hills caricature into a figure of pathos." Four-time Tony nominee Raul Esparza played the part in the recent revival of the play.
Prior to his death from cancer on Sunday, Ron Silver was also nominated for three Emmys.
