Cameron Crowe knows how to make me fall in love, with characters, with music, with stories. I love his movies dearly. So you probably understand my excitement when Mr. Crowe tweeted this high-res look at We Bought a Zoo, his upcoming adaptation of Benjamin Mee’s memoir. The story about a father who spends his family’s life savings on an abandoned exotic animal farm has that idealist-against-reality quality that I love so much in his movies.

Check out the image featuring Scarlett Johansson and Matt Damon (click for high-res):

Okay, so there are movie stars and some zebras, but I’m happy to see anything from the production after the less-than-exciting pics he tweeted last.

So the question is: are we in for Vanilla Sky/Elizabethtown or Almost Famous/Jerry Macquire? I’ll be there opening day to find out.

We Bought a Zoo, directed by Cameron Crowe and starring Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Elle Fanning, Thomas Haden Church and Stephanie Szostak, opens Dec. 23.
