Matt Damon is in talks to star in We Bought a Zoo for director Cameron Crowe. The movie, based on the memoir by Benjamin Mee, tells the story of Mee and his family and how they used their life savings to buy a rundown zoo in the English countryside. Along the way, Mee faced a number of challenges, the least of which was his wife’s battle with brain cancer. Filming is expected to begin early next year for a December 2011 release.
