In the upcoming family dramedy WE BOUGHT A ZOO, a recently widowed dad moves his family into a house situated in the middle of a dilapidated wildlife refuge which they work to restore. Adapted from the popular memoir by BENJAMIN MEE and directed by CAMERON CROWE, the film stars MATT DAMON, THOMAS HAYDEN CHURCH, SCARLETT JOHANSSEN, PATRICK FUGIT, ELLE FANNING and CARLA GALLO.

Working with animals was daunting for DAMON, who talked about facing his fears at the recent press conference to promote the film. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
