Opening in theaters next month, WE BOUGHT A ZOO is a family friendly dramedy that centers on a man who attempts to reconnect with his kids after his wife dies by moving them into a remote, run-down wildlife park. Co-adapted and directed by CAMERON CROWE from the memoir by BENJAMIN MEE, the film stars MATT DAMON, ELLE FANNING, THOMAS HAYDEN CHURCH, COLIN FORD and SCARLETT JOHANSSON.

A veteran of over fifty films, Academy Award-winner DAMON might seem to know all there is about taking and shaping a role but, during a press conference to promote the movie, he admitted he’s still learning how to act and likened the profession to playing golf. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
