Scarlett Johansson Might Buy a Zoo with Cameron Crowe and Matt Damon
The last time Cameron Crowe made a movie, it was the 2005 disaster Elizabethtown, so it goes without saying that We Bought a Zoo is being positioned as his comeback project. The adaptation of Benjamin Mee's memoir (about a man who goes to England and buys a zoo) already has Matt Damon attached and now Deadline reports that Scarlett Johansson is in negotiations to appear as the female lead. Does this mean we can cross her off the list of possible Daisy Buchanan's? [Deadline]

Booo! This would have been much more interesting if they were actually buying a zoo.
I read this book when it came out a couple years ago and it is such a great story. I can see why amazing talents like Cameron Crowe, Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson would be drawn to it. I can't wait to see what they do. What role is Scarlett playing? She's still in her twenties so probably not the wife. Maybe one of the zoo staff?
Was his wife 15 years younger than him in real life?
No, they were the same age. That's why I bet Scarlett is not playing the wife. Plus she looks nothing like the real wife, who was more French-looking with short dark hair.
