There are challenges when 1）luring a movie star back to a film 2）sequel—even dolphins. Director Charles Martin Smith found this out after 2011’s Dolphin Tale proved to be a 3）breakout 4）vehicle for his 5）aquatic star， Winter.
“Winter had some 6）demands， she knows she’s a star now，” jokes Smith. “I did have to throw in some higher-quality 7）herring. She wants it fresh.”
No matter how much herring is required， it was worth it for Dolphin Tale 2 （out September 19th）.
The 8）original Dolphin Tale was a surprise hit， making close to $100 million worldwide that year. Further more， it starred the actual dolphin， Winter， whose dramatic real-life struggle inspired the movie.
In 2005， five-month-old Winter got caught by a crab trap in an accident that destroyed her 9）tail flukes. It was a life-and-death situation for the dolphin； she struggled to stay alive while under care at Florida’s rescue center， the Clearwater 10）Marine Aquarium.
“When she lost her tail， there was some talk of perhaps putting her down. No dolphin had ever survived this way，” says Smith. “But the people who worked with Winter saw such life and spirit in her. They fought to keep her alive.”
A 11）prosthetic expert heard about her problem and built an 12）artificial fin that would allow Winter to swim properly， inspiring the movie that starred Winter， Harry Connick Jr.， Kris Kristofferson， Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman.
