There was a "ZK" sign on Sunday, June 28 around the Symphony Hall area
leading crews down Massachusetts Avenue toward Dudley Square.
Could it be preliminary filming for the upcoming made-in-Massachusetts flick
"The Zookeeper," starring Kevin James and Rosario Dawson?
As previously reported, a majority of the scenes for "The Zookeeper" are slotted
to be shot at Franklin Park Zoo located at 1 Franklin Park Rd. and the Stone Zoo
in Stoneham.
Production is scheduled to kick off in July, confirms that there will be specific
areas of the zoo that will be renovated, paid for by a donation made by the
production company.
James, finishing up scenes at Woodman's of Essex with Sandler and crew for the
ultimate buddy flick "Grown Ups," will play the title role in the film produced by
Sandler's Happy Madison Productions. In "The Zookeeper," he plays a zoo
caretaker who consults with the animals in an attempt to learn their methods of
dating and mating to help him win back the woman of his dreams.
Adam Sandler, Cher, Jon Favreau, Sylvester Stallone and Judd Apatow have
signed on as animal voices. The five reportedly will voice animals at the zoo
where keeper James longs for his female love interest played by Dawson. Sandler
will be the voice of a capuchin monkey while Cher is slotted to be a giraffe.
Favreau has been cast as a bear, Stallone as a lion and Apatow as an elephant.
Kevin James is no stranger to talking animals - he provided the voice of a cow in
"Bayrnyard"
