Is it too early to start crying? And really looking forward to the soundtrack. Best use of "Don't Come Around Here No More" in a trailer ever.

Hey, Scott -- can I request a blast of creative juju today? I mean, watching that trailer helped, but some days you just need more than others!

One of my favorite songs as well :) Did you notice that Jonsi is doing the music? Oh my, Cameron and Nancy got divorced... I just looked it up on IMDb. I'm out of the loop, gossip wise...

This made me laugh. I live in Devon, England and have visited the zoo that was the basis of Mee's original book on a number of occasions. Suffice to say, on a drizzly, grey day it ain't half as appealing or romantic as the sun-kissed, bucolic paradise Matt Damon buys in the movie. If the film is a hit and people start making the pilgrimage to Dartmoor Zoo to see the real thing there are going to be a lot of disappointed punters...

Jonny, thanks for that backstory re the zoo. This movie and how they transformed dreary Dartmoor Zoo into the "sun-kissed, bucolic paradise Matt Damon buys" is a great example of one of Hollywood's most cherished mantras: "Never let the facts stand in the way of the story." In a wish-fulfillment fantasy, much more alluring to have Matt and company cavorting in a delightful environment. Plus it makes for a much nice production experience for all involved. And who knows? If Dartmoor Zoo becomes a tourist attraction, perhaps the sun will start shining there more often!

We can only hope. ; )
