Noah will be in the movie TERRY as Darrell, Terry's brother. About time to see some new work. Since it's a Canadian movie, I don't know if most of us will be able to see it.

Marking Marathon of Hope anniversary, Production Begins on TERRY, A CTV Original Movie
Toronto, ON (June 1, 2005) - By the time Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope came to an end outside of Thunder Bay on September 1, 1980, Canada had affirmed a love for the 22-year-old runner and his heroic ambition. Now, on the eve of the upcoming 25th anniversary of the end of his momentous run, Canadians rediscover their love for one of this country's most inspiring heroes in a new CTV original movie.
Shaftesbury Films and CTV are proud to announce that production on TERRY begins June 5th, 2005. Starring one of Canada's most recognizable young actors, Shawn Ashmore (X2: X-Men United) as Terry Fox, the CTV original movie will be shot in and around Toronto, Northern Ontario, Newfoundland and Vancouver through July 5th.

"There has been perhaps no greater Canadian hero than Terry Fox," said Christina Jennings, Executive Producer, Shaftesbury Films. "He was an average kid transformed by an impossible dream. Terry left a legacy for all of us, especially children: we can do whatever we set our sights on. We are very honoured to be bringing this powerful story to the screen and to a whole new generation of Canadians."
The rousing, two-hour movie recalls how Terry Fox overcame an unimaginable challenge and set out to run across Canada in a "Marathon of Hope." Fox embarked from St. John's, Newfoundland in April of 1980 on a cross-country odyssey to raise money and awareness for cancer research, the disease that took his right leg. He ran a marathon a day, every day, to realize this ambition until the cancer returned and forced him to end his run in Thunder Bay. In spite of numerous challenges and obstacles that arose from months on the road, the thought of sick children suffering from cancer motivated Terry toward his goal. Twenty-five years later the Terry Fox Foundation has raised more than $360 million dollars worldwide for cancer research.
Based on journals Terry wrote during his trip and drawing from extensive interviews with family and friends who were with him at the time, TERRY will provide audiences with a unique look at an incredible young man. Creative Producer Gail Harvey was a photojournalist in 1980 who covered The Marathon of Hope. Harvey remembers: "Of all the famous people I've met in my life, Terry Fox affected me the most. I want Canadians who participate in the Terry Fox Run every year to know just how incredible Terry was. I found Terry to be a regular guy with a great sense of humour, a kind heart and unrelenting determination - like an angel - and he is our hero."
The movie portrays what it was like for Terry, his best friend Doug Alward (Ryan McDonald, The Ballad of Jack & Rose, Fierce People), and his brother Darrell (Noah Reid, Black Hole High, Pippi Longstocking) as they traveled across the country. The trio battled the elements, did laundry, cooked meals, and tried to get press coverage - all while Terry was running 26 miles a day. TERRY captures how, despite the pain, Terry ran for 143 days until cancer forced him to stop. By the time he ended his Marathon of Hope just outside of Thunder Bay, he had run 3,339 miles from Newfoundland to Ontario, through Nova Scotia, P.E.I., New Brunswick, and Quebec, amidst some of the most beautiful landscape in the world.
