I just watched the 60 Minutes segment on Jerry and Mary Newport. It was very interesting.

It showed the film title shot of Mozart and the Whale where Josh is seen walking down the street from the back, away from the taxi. It says something to the effect that Hollywood producers were inspired by Jerry and Mary's story to make a film based loosely on their lives. Then it showed a clip from the movie with Josh and Radha, but it did not mention Josh. [img]graemlins/sniff.gif[/img]

However, it did state that the movie was due out later this year. It stated that the movie "captures the social discomfort people like Jerry always feel".

I really admire Jerry and Mary for all the work they have done to educate and inform the public about Asperger's and to aid other Asperger's sufferers. Who better to understand their plight?

Having said all that, I must say that Josh is absolutely adorable in this movie. I feel like he is going to get great accolades for his performance. I think this is going to be a very special movie, and I am so proud that Josh is a part of it!
