Walden Media is pleased to announce that Jonny Weston has been cast as Santa Cruz surfing legend Jay Moriarity in the upcoming film Mavericks.   Mavericks is a true story based on Santa Cruz surf phenom, Jay Moriarity, and his quest to ride the mythic Northern California break, known as Mavericks, where winter swells bring in treacherous waves the size of five story buildings. Moriarity trained for more than a year under the tutelage of mentor Frosty Hesson, and in the process the two forged a unique relationship, ultimately transforming both of their lives. Jay’s story remains an inspiration to surfers around the globe, who’ve coined the phrase, “Live like Jay.” Gerard Butler (300, Machine Gun Preacher) will star alongside Jonny Weston as Frosty Hesson.  Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential, 8 Mile) will direct and filming begins in early October.
