John Krasinski and Drew Barrymore will star opposite each other in the fact-based drama "Everybody Loves Whales" says Deadline Hollywood.

Ken Kwapis directs the story about the real-life 1988 rescue of three California gray whales trapped under Arctic Circle ice. Their plight made world news and saw US and Soviet leaders teaming to help.

Krasinski plays a small town newspaper reporter who breaks the story while Barrymore plays a Greenpeace activist.

Jack Amiel and Michael Begler wrote the script

Steve Golin, Michael Sugar, Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner and Liza Chasin will produce.
