Morgan Freeman, Harry Connick Jr and Ashley Judd have reportedly opened talks to star in upcoming adventure film A Dolphin Tale.

Martin Sheen has signed to direct the 3D movie for Alcon Entertainment, reports Variety.

The movie centres on a dolphin that loses her tail and the 11-year-old boy who rescues her. He starts a campaign to persuade a doctor to create a prosthetic tail to help the dolphin swim.

Freeman is eyeing the role of the doctor, while Connick could play a marine biologist with Judd as the boy's mother.
