Actress Rosario Dawson has signed on to star opposite Kevin James in the
upcoming made-in-Massachusetts flick "The Zookeeper," the follow-up to "Paul
Blart: Mall Cop" which is slotted to begin filming in late summer.
James, in Southborough last week and Tuesday, May 26 to shoot scenes with
Adam 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.
Actress Leslie Bibb has also signed on to star with James.
Franklin Park Zoo and O Ya, an upscale Japanese-fusion restaurant located at 9
East Street in the Leather District, have been singled out as possible locations
for "The Zookeeper," scheduled to hit theaters on July 23, 2010.
However, an inside source says it's likely that primary production will end up in
the outskirts of Boston because of the film's content and well, its crew of large
animals.
Lions, tigers and bears in Boston? Not likely.
"I wonder what city or town will allow us to march circus animals through the
streets?" the source teases. "And, it won't be Boston."
