‘The Zookeeper’s Wife’ to be released soon
September 24th, 2010 - 9:16 pm ICT by Sampurn WireSeptember 24, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): The Zookeeper’s Wife is soon going to be made into a full length film for you to enjoy, at a theater near you. Scion Films has got the rights for this Diane Ackerman’s best seller. This nonfiction would be adapted into a screenplay by Angela Workman.
The book, as originally written by Diane Ackerman had spent an envious 54 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. This happened in 2007. This book is about Jan and Antonia Zabinski who had turned their own property, the Warsaw Zoo, into a safe house for Jews, after the invasion by the Nazis invaded during the Second World War.
The two actually hid many Jews in the zoo and also in their homes; the Warsaw Zoo came to be known as “The House Under a Crazy Star” for the visitors.
The Zookeeper’s Wife stands out, irrespective of not having an original story; movies on holocaust and Nazi invasions have been made before. It should attract popularity and attention, however, whetherit would be able to make any money remains to be seen.
A proper casting and direction is needed to make this story perfect as well as appealing to the audiences. Let’s just hope that the movie is made so and pulls in the fan base that the original story has built up.
