Filming for “The Big Year” starts in May

The film version of The Big Year is set to start in May, with David Frankel (Marley and Me) directing. The Big Year, by Mark Obmascik, is the story of bird watching. But not just any bird watching; fanatical guys who will stop at nothing to catch a glimpse of some of the rarest birds in North America.

Some big names are linked with the story of three men who brave any element to see the most birds in the shortest amount of time. Dustin Hoffman, Jack Black, Owen Wilson, and producer Ben Stiller are all going bird watching together (against each other?) in this interesting new comedy.

More details as they unfold.
