Winter the Dolphin: New Tale

'Dolphin Tale 2' will start filming this year, and open in theaters in fall 2014.

It was just a matter of time before beloved Winter the dolphin would resurface in another big-screen family drama.

Warner Bros. announced Wednesday that "Dolphin Tale 2" will open in theaters across the nation on Sept. 19, 2014, the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The film is a sequel to the 2011 blockbuster, which was a fictional account of the real-life rescue of Winter the Dolphin and her rehabilitation by Clearwater Marine Aquarium, where she resides today.
