Crowe’s twitter name is @CameronCrowe and we obviously suggest you follow him. Here are the photo’s he’s tweeted so far.
Clockwise from the top left, these are Crowe’s descriptions of each photo from his official site.
We heard a few small nuggets of information about Crowe’s latest film when Crowe’s site The Uncool visited the set of We Bought a Zoo, which is still scheduled for release December 23, but other than that, things have been pretty quiet. That’s probably for the best. As we all know, a Crowe film isn’t a Crowe film until the final print is struck as every aspect of the movie – especially the music – is of the utmost importance.
I’m certainly anticipating this film and love that Crowe now has a new platform to keep his fans in the loop. What do you think of these photos?
When writer Mee’s father died, his mother needed to sell the house and move to a smaller place—so the entire family decided to buy a zoo. Mee’s sister had seen an advertisement for the sale of the Dartmoor Wildlife Park, a small zoo in Devonshire in the southwest of England. After a long series of negotiations, licensing snafus, and the inevitable family conflicts, the author, his mother, and his brother moved into the park’s rundown house and started running a zoo. Though they owned the grounds and its 200 animals outright, they still had to pay 20 staff members, feed the animals, and upgrade the grounds. During the first week, a jaguar escaped, and the author and his brother began to realize what they’d gotten themselves into. Through eradicating the plague of rats, clearing out years of rubbish to reveal usable buildings, and battling with banks for operating expenses, the author and his staff gradually pulled the zoo back from the brink of closure.
