Magnificent Frigatebird Blog reports that Mark Obmascik’s The Big Year is being turned into a movie starring Owen Wilson, Dustin Hoffman, and Jack Black. Now this could be interesting…

I’m sure the movie will retain the book’s respectful attitude toward birding and its participants and not resort to slapstick humor and “blue-footed boobie” jokes.
hahah no it totally will this is going to be awful.
A website called The Frat Pack, which follows the movie moves of Ben Stiller, the Wilson Brothers, etc., reports that Ben Stiller is one of the producers and that the casting is:
* Dustin Hoffman as Al Levinton
* Owen Wilson as Sandy Komito
* Jack Black as Greg Miller
Which is really odd. I assumed Dustin would be a perfect Sandy Komito.
And yeah, like Nick says, this is a movie that will doubtless communicate why birders are obsessed with birding.
