The film follows two royal brothers, Thadeous (McBride) and Fabious (James Franco).

 

The movie immediately tips off how Thadeous has lived in the shadow of his young brother Fabious for quite some time.

The University's biology department received a $75,000 grant to study endangered fish and mussels in Northeast Texas.

Dr. Neil Ford, professor of biology, said, "What we do is look at the river first and see where certain characteristics we think might be important to the fish or mussels, and then we go in and survey that site.

"Because we now have all this technology to look at landscape features, we're hoping to get a predictive model so you can say, ‘oh that mussel or that fish could be there,' and that will be very useful for U.S. Fish and Wildlife," Ford said.
