Deadline is exclusively reporting that Daniel has a role in upcoming movie Batso together with Ethan Hawke and Jessica Biel. It will be based on a true story about a trio of trailblazing climbers who in the early 1970s took on the most difficult route up iconic peak El Capitan in Yosemite National Park.

Daniel plays one of the climbers, Dean Caldwell, (Hawke plays Warren Harding) who takes on the famously difficult sheer face El Capitan route known as ‘The Wall of Early Morning Light’. It will be produced by 3311 Productions, Watch This Ready and Under The Influence. North.five.six is handling international sales. It is unknown at this point when the biopic will be released.

The synopsis:

“In 1970, ‘The Wall of Early Morning Light’ was an unthinkable climb. For larger-than-life climbing legends Warren ‘Batso’ Harding and Dean Caldwell, it represented a near impossible physical and mental challenge. For iconoclast Batso, it also offered one last chance to stick it to the naysayers who thought him too old, too out of touch, and too crazy. For novice Dean, it was a way to see beyond his 9-5 existence and unlock the awesome potential of the human spirit.

“What began as an almost farcical exercise became one of the great underdog stories in the history of the sport. The estimated 10-day climb stretched into a 28-day marathon of grit and determination which sparked a media sensation.”
