The birding community is excited, and rightfully so, for the upcoming movie, The Big Year. Based on Mark Obmascik’s 1998 book The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature, and Fowl Obsession, it looks to be extremely funny and perhaps a push for birding (and conservation) to move into the mainstream.
The movie’s cast is solid and said to be the following:
Steve Martin as Al Levantin
Jack Black as Greg Miller
Owen Wilson as Sandy Komito
Rashida Jones
Angelica Huston as Debi Shearwater
Jim Parsons
Rosamund Pike
JoBeth Williams
Brian Dennehy
Dianne Wiest
Anthony Anderson
Tim Blake Nelson
Kevin Pollak
Joel McHale
No official release date is set yet but it is being filmed now. Check out some photos released from the set.
We’ll be posting updates right here as we get them . . . perhaps we’ll even make it to the premiere
