Streep going for thrills with role in 'River Wild'
Based on an original script by Denis O'Neill, with additional writing by Bruce Evans and Ray Gideon, the story involves a married couple and their son on a river-rafting vacation. The trio are abducted by two escaped killers and forced to take them through treacherous waters to elude pursuing lawmen.
Curtis Hansen, who most recently was involved in "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle," is directing. Turman said locations will likely be in Oregon and Idaho. No other casting has been set, according to the co-producer.
In addition to "River Wild," the veteran producing partnership is involved with Largo in "The Getaway," now filming for Universal.
