Writer-Director Cameron Crowe, whose last film with 2005′s fiasco Elizabethtown, is considering an adaptation of Benjamin Mee memoir We Bought a Zoo. The memoir is Mee’s story of moving with his family to a run-down, twelve-bedroom mansion that also happened to include the 30-acre Dartmoor Wildlife Park, a dilapidated preserve that was home to 200 wild animals. The story follows the juxtaposition of Mee and his family rehabilitating the animals and the park as Mee’s wife fades away from terminal cancer.
Vulture says that Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada) has turned in a great script, but if Cameron took the gig he would be doing some re-writes before heading into production. As long as the film isn’t a non-stop reminder of how much Cameron loves music, there may be hope for it.

I am a huge fan of Crowe’s. Although Vanilla Sky and Elizabethtown were two huge missteps, his films are usually extremely enjoyable. Almost Famous, the untitled directors cut, is one of my ten favorite films ever. I have to disagree with something you wrote, I like his use of music in his films. His taste in music is really good and his choices usually add something special to his films. I’m happy to see he’s getting back behind the camera and thank god it’s not for the tikki movie he planned on making with Ben Stiller and Reese Witherspoon, that sounded terrible.
