Okay, there is no chance they use the complete title for this adaptation as Naomi Watts is set to star in a feature film version of Amy Sutherland’s “Kicked, Bitten and Scratched: Life and Lessons at the World’s Premiere School for Exotic Animal Trainers.” Yeah, long title isn’t it?
The story focuses on the year she spent with students at the Exotic Animal Training and Management Program at Moorpark College, where students learn how to communicate with animals such as camels, emus, baboons, cougars, wolves and snakes. Alumni hold posts at the world’s top zoos, aquariums and sanctuaries or become trainers who work in television and film.
Todd Louiso and Jacob Koskoff will pen the screenplay for First Look Pictures. Koskoff and Louiso recently penned The Marc Pease Experience, which will star Ben Stiller and Jason Schwartzman. There is no word on a director for the rom-com.
