Zookeeper Movie Gets A ScreenwriterBy Katey Rich: 2008-07-01 06:08:45
Night at the Museum seems to have kicked off a trend of movies about men in similar mystical situations, having their everyday problems solved by something insane. Well, at least it's kicked off a sequel and another movie, The Zookeeper, that seems to essentially be a romantic comedy version of Night at the Museum set in a zoo.Now that movie has a screenwriter, Scot Armstrong, who has a lot of experience writing about men working out their issues in unusual ways. He's the writer of Old School, Semi-Pro and School for Scoundrels among others-- basically he's the king of the "man-child" genre, in which acting like a buffoon somehow gets a guy everything he wants. Now The Hollywood Reporter says he'll be writing The Zookeeper for director Walt Becker, which is a perfect match, actually. As the director of last January's Wild Hogs, Becker knows more than a thing or two about men refusing to grow up. The plot of The Zookeeper finds the man getting unexpected romantic help from the animals he cares for. Will it be along the lines of The Little Mermaid, with fish providing romantic music and fireflies offering flattering light? Or will it be the equivalent of a baboon telling the guy to get it together and grow a pair? And hey, who would trust an irresponsible man-child with dangerous animals to begin with?
