If Cameron Crowe is involved in the making of a film, I’m there– every single time.
So it’s not hard to figure out if I’m excited for WE BOUGHT A ZOO. The true story is about a widowed father (Matt Damon) who with the help of his children and friends re-open a zoo. I’m prepared to shed some tears, especially since I learned today that Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi is doing the score for the film.
USA Today has a new batch of photos from the film that include Damon, Thomas Hayden Church, Elle Fanning, and Patrick Fugit. There’s also something very off about that group photo.
Synopsis: “Back in 2006, Mee was a do-it-yourself columnist for the U.K.’s Guardian newspaper. The writer took it to a whole new level when he decided to move into a rundown twelve-bedroom mansion in the English countryside with his wife, two children, brother, and 76-year-old mother. On top of that, the mansion included a 30 acre wildlife park that was home to 200 wild animals. Their success was bittersweet when Mee’s wife, Katherine, learned that she had terminal cancer.”
