Scarlett Johansson & Matt Damon: "We Bought a Zoo" NYC Premiere
Capping off a full day of press duties, Scarlett Johansson was the center of attention at the premiere of "We Bought a Zoo" in New York City on Monday night (December 12).
The 27-year-old actress dazzled on the arrivals carpet at the Ziegfield Theater venue while promoting the Cameron Crowe directed film alongside co-stars Matt Damon, Elle Fanning and Thomas Haden Church.
Based on true story, the movie surrounds a single dad who decides his family needs a fresh start, so he and his two children move to the most unlikely of places: a zoo. With the help of a bizarre staff and many misadventures, the family works to rebuild the neglected zoo back to its original wonder.
Talking about the picture, Miss Johansson told this morning during her "Today" show appearance, “It is a true story based on Benjamin Mee. He wrote a book about his experience and there is also a documentary about his experience. I think the film is really about starting over. I think it's about a sort of human connectivity that allows us to kind of overcome obstacles that seem larger than life at times.”
Also starring Patrcik Fugit and John Michael Higgins, "We Bought a Zoo" is set to hit theaters on December 23rd.
