WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers is a WikiProject dedicated to building comprehensive and detailed articles for actors and filmmakers. Working on providing a greater focus on people in the film industry, the project is an integral part of both WikiProject Biography and WikiProject Film.
Scope
WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers covers biographical material of individuals involved in the process of making motion pictures, including people in the film industry such as actors, directors, crew, and others who may be listed in the motion picture credits of a film. However per Wikipedia:WikiProject Film#Scope, articles in this project should not include the {{WikiProject Film}} banner, as that project does not include articles about actors, directors and filmmakers. Future tagging of bio articles relevant to specific task forces may become a future extension. WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers also does not cover individuals by reason of their participation in episodic programs, such as those covered by WikiProject Television.
Goals
To standardize Wikipedia articles on film actors, film directors, film producers, screenwriters, cinematographers, film editors, and score composers.
To improve Wikipedia coverage of film biographical material by adding, expanding and improving film biographical related articles
To serve as a central point of discussion of issues related to Wikipedia film character articles, including those that may be under scrutiny
To maintain standards for articles about people in world cinema, as well as for categories, templates, and other Wikipedia items that may support those articles
To encourage and provide a structure for enhancing the writing of high quality articles on all manner of different people involved in cinema.
To ensure that every article biography related to film uses Template:Infobox person and an image if possible.

An Unreferenced BLPs (biographies of living persons) report for this project is available, updated by DASHBot.
A comprehensive list of Actresses who require Wikipedia biographies is available from the Women in Red wikiproject .
Find free-use images for articles in Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of actors and filmmakers
Add infoboxes to articles in Category:Actors and filmmakers work group articles needing infoboxes
Complete filmography tables listed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers#Filmography tables and others as they are noticed.
Remove deprecated fields from infoboxes; these include lists of awards, notable roles, height, resting place and co-ordinates, children and in the case of some deceased subjects, the "silver" background default field.
Remove awards succession boxes from articles.
Exclude from the lead sentence phrases that bolster a person's status beyond basic descriptions that designate the person's occupation. Examples include phrases that inflate standing such as being an award winner, award nominee, one of the greatest actors/filmmakers ever, or other such highlights. Such phrases can and should be used later in the lead section in better context, such as summarizing the kinds of awards won or the kind of polls that rank a person's greatness in the film industry. Lead sentences should only include name, birth/death dates, occupation and nationality. Example: "William McChord Hurt (born March 20, 1950) is an American actor."
Project style recommendations[edit]
This page is an essay on style. It contains the advice and/or opinions of one or more WikiProjects on how to format and present article content within their area of interest.
This WikiProject advice page is not a formal Wikipedia policy or guideline, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community.
Filmography tables[edit]
Shortcut
WP:FILMOGRAPHY
Some filmographies are presented in a tabled format; however, you should make sure there is an obvious benefit to table format before creating a table for a filmography (e.g. a relatively short listing of credits for newer actors are better presented in list form, not table form). The following examples reflect current best practice. They allow for sortability and accessibility for the vision impaired. Titles should be invoked via {{sortname}}, where appropriate. All names should be referred to as credited, or by common name supported by a reliable source. The notes field should not be allowed to get overly cluttered. Do not add future projects until filming has begun as verified by a reliable source.
Please note: When using separate film and television performances tables (ex. #1), television films belong in the television table.

Year
The year of the film's release date. If the work is a television program, this field also allows for a span of years (ex. 1997–1998 (see MOS:DATERANGE)).
Title
The title of the work. Always use "Title" as opposed to "Film" or "Series", as the differing works in this field may include items that vary in their medium. Because many titles begin with indefinite and definite articles (a, an, or the), it is recommended that you place such titles within the {{sortname}} template; this will allow these titles to be sorted properly, by bypassing the a, an, or the.
Role
The role played by your given subject. It is to be written exactly as it is presented in the credits of the work.
Notes
This field is to include optional, additional information such as medium, episode titles, alternate titles, or awards – when there is no separate "Awards" section in the given article. This field is to be rendered "unsortable", as it will contain a variety of information that is not likely to be usefully sortable. Do not list the number of episodes if the role is a starring or major recurring role – if the role does not cover the entire run of a television program, list the seasons involved instead.
Source
This is an optional field that is to be used when a work may be obscure or difficult to confirm.
Succession boxes[edit]
Succession boxes where the succession box relates to the subject's work or notability as an actor are deprecated; see this discussion, which is summarized here. Non-performing succession boxes should be discussed at the appropriate project page.
Filmography navbox templates[edit]
Per extensive determinations of consensus as summarized here, navbox templates containing filmographies are not supported by this project. Such templates should be nominated for deletion as unusable. Note that filmography navbox templates for work by film directors are not covered by this consensus. Per WP:FILMNAV filmographies should only be included in navboxes if the individual concerned could be considered a primary creator of the material in question.
Razzie Award templates[edit]
Per consensus as summarized here, templates for recipients of Razzie Awards will not be used on articles under the provenance of this project.
Resources[edit]
Resources provides a guide to finding information for sourcing articles, whether through online/print sources or members' personal libraries.

Film editors[edit]
Examples[edit]
Featured articles on film editors: (none)
Good articles on film editors: Verna Fields
B-class articles on film editors: Anne V. Coates, Thelma Schoonmaker
Editors and infoboxes in film articles[edit]
The infobox is often the only place in a film article where the editor is noted, but many infoboxes do not include the editor(s). If you are working on an editor's article, please check the corresponding film articles to see if the editor has been listed. This work may be more important than adding the filmography to the editor's article!
If the editor is missing, the infobox may also be missing the editing = line. In this case you'll need to add this line to the infobox. You'll also need to place a "pipe" symbol | at the beginning (| editing =) or end of the line. Once the editing = line is present, enter the name of the editor using the format editing = [[editor's name]], presuming that including a wikilink is appropriate. Multiple editors are entered using the format editing = [[editor 1 name]]<br />[[editor 2 name]].
Generallly, supervising and additional editors should not be listed in the infobox; the current rules for Oscar nominations for editors exclude them, and there is no consensus regarding the significance of these credits. Occasionally it is appropriate to list these other editors, in which case the editor's listing should be tagged (add) or (sup). Thus John Bloom was the supervising editor for Under Fire (1983), but shared in the nomination for the BAFTA Award for Best Editing.
Film editing: directors and editors[edit]
In editing articles about film editors, it's important to acknowledge that the editing of a particular film is usually a collaboration between the director and the editor. For this reason, it is reasonable to indicate the director for each film in an editor's filmography. imdb doesn't naturally do this, which could make Wikipedia's filmographies for film editors more useful than imdb's. Longstanding, particularly notable collaborations of editors and directors can be added to the List of film director and editor collaborations.

Plot[edit]
Benjamin Mee is still grieving the loss of his wife and dealing with the expulsion of his 14-year-old son, Dylan, from school, and decides to make a restart by buying a new house. He tours many houses with his 7-year-old daughter, Rosie, and his realtor, Mr. Stevens, but finds none he likes until his daughter finds a listing with what seems like the perfect house. They drive to an old large house and Benjamin inspects the property, telling his realtor it is perfect. When they hear a lion roar, Stevens explains that the house comes with a zoo in the back, which closed several years before; if they want the house, they must buy the zoo.
Mee eventually decides to buy the zoo when he sees Rosie happily playing with the peacocks. Dylan, however, hates the idea of moving away from his friends and retreats into his artwork which has grown more macabre since the death of his mother. Benjamin's brother, Duncan, tries to dissuade him from the purchase, but Benjamin buys it anyway. The zoo staff, led by the 28-year-old head keeper, Kelly Foster, help to start renovating the zoo with the intent to reopen it to the public. When Kelly confronts Benjamin about why he bought a zoo, knowing nothing about running one, Benjamin simply responds "Why not?". Dylan befriends Kelly's 13-year-old homeschooled cousin, Lily Miska, who develops a romantic interest that Dylan is oblivious to.
A strict USDA inspector, Walter Ferris, arrives for a surprise inspection and makes a list of repairs that would cost around $100,000, which Benjamin does not have. Rhonda Blair, the zoo's accountant, gossips that Benjamin will probably sell the zoo. The workers' morale sinks, fearing the property will be sold to a buyer that will close it down.
When Lily tells Dylan that she heard his family might be leaving, he is overjoyed, which hurts her feelings. Benjamin discovers that his wife bequeathed him an investment account, with instructions to use the money wisely while listening to his heart. Duncan advises him to walk away and start over with the money, but Benjamin decides to use the money to repair the zoo. While this lifts the zoo workers' morale, Dylan is unhappy about having to stay; he confronts his father, and a heated argument ensues. They reconcile the next morning and Dylan admits he misses Lily. Benjamin gives his son advice using his favorite principle, that you only need 20 seconds of courage to achieve great things. Benjamin realizes that instead of trying to start over by forgetting his wife, he should accept that she will always be a part of him.
Prior to the grand opening of the zoo, the facility passes a very stringent inspection from Ferris, who grudgingly wishes them good luck. Dylan, following his father's advice, confesses to Lily that he loves her and she forgives him. The week prior to the opening, the worst rainstorm in 100 years is predicted to wash it out. The weather clears in time, but in the morning they are disappointed when no visitors arrive. They discover that a fallen tree has blocked the access road, with a large crowd of waiting visitors behind it. The staff help them to climb over the tree. There are so many people that they run out of tickets, forcing Benjamin and Kelly to look for more. They end up face to face in a shed, where Kelly admits to Benjamin that she is romantically interested in him and since she "can't get a handle on it", she kisses him, telling him that maybe they can do it again on New Year's Eve; Benjamin kisses her back, and tells her that he is looking forward to it.
Benjamin takes his children to the restaurant where he met their mother, explaining that it was the point where their existence became a possibility. He takes them through that day's encounter, where Benjamin worked up the nerve to talk to his future wife with "20 seconds of insane courage", and walks up to the table she was at. He visualizes her sitting there, and asks her why such an amazing woman would talk to someone like him. She responds, "Why not?".

Production[edit]
Development[edit]
In May 2010, Cameron Crowe agreed to direct the 20th Century Fox adaptation of Benjamin Mee's memoir We Bought a Zoo.[8] He then began rewriting the film's script, which was originally written by Aline Brosh McKenna.[8] This was the first film that was directed by Crowe since the 2005 film Elizabethtown.[8] The film was released on December 23, 2011.[8]
Casting[edit]
Crowe traveled to the set of the film True Grit to persuade actor Matt Damon to take on the role of the lead character in the film.[1] Crowe also presented a script of the film, a CD of songs that Crowe composed himself, and a copy of the 1983 film Local Hero, with instructions "to not just read the script and make a decision".[1] Damon was persuaded to play the role after he was moved by Crowe's music and found that Local Hero was a "masterpiece".[1] As for Crowe himself, he had already decided on Damon halfway through their meeting, though the distributor Fox still had a shortlist of candidates to play this role.[1]

The song Gathering Stories was on the shortlist of 39 songs that have a chance of being nominated for Best Original Song Oscar at the 84th Academy Awards.[10] This song was co-written by Jonsi Birgisson and Cameron Crowe.[10]
While the official CD release of the movie soundtrack only includes music by Jón Þór "Jónsi" Birgisson and Sigur Rós,[11] the complete soundtrack of the film included a variety of artists.[12]

Reception[edit]
Box office[edit]
We Bought a Zoo grossed a total of $2,984,875 on its opening day in the U.S. box office, making it the sixth highest-grossing film that weekend.[2] It subsequently earned $14,604,645 in its first four days of screening. Overall, the film grossed $75,624,550 in North America and $37,764,426 internationally for a worldwide total of $113,388,976.[2] It is one of only twelve feature films to be released in over 3,000 theaters and still improve on its box office performance in its second weekend, increasing 41.4% from $9,360,434 to $13,238,241.[13]
Critical response[edit]
On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 66% based on 155 reviews, with an average rating of 6.6/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "We Bought a Zoo is a transparently cloying effort by director Cameron Crowe, but Matt Damon makes for a sympathetic central character."[14] On Metacritic the film has a score of 58 out of 100, based on 40 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[15]
Roger Ebert, reviewing for the Chicago Sun-Times, awarded the film 2.5 stars out of 4, describing the film as "too much formula and not enough human interest."[16] He added that the film's "pieces go together too easily, the plot is too inevitable, and we feel little real energy between the players."[16] However, he did praise Damon, whom he says "makes a sturdy and likable Benjamin Mee".[16] The New York Times reviewer Manohla Dargis criticized Crowe's direction, writing that it "makes the escalating tension between Benjamin and Dylan the story's soft center," while keeping "the brutality of illness and death" "safely off-screen".[17] She also noted that the film uses "classic movie logic", specifically pointing out the way that Benjamin quits his job and that he "doesn't agonize about how he'll keep his children housed, fed and clothed".[17] On the other hand, Dargis wrote that "you may not buy his [Cameron's] happy endings, but it's a seductive ideal when all of God's creatures, great and small, buxom and blond, exist in such harmony."[17]
The Hollywood Reporter commented that the "uplifting tale [the film] has heart, humanity and a warmly empathetic central performance from Matt Damon", although it "doesn't dodge the potholes of earnest sentimentality and at times overplays the whimsy".[18] The reviewer also praised the cast, describing them as "solid", and in particular praised Damon's character, whose struggle he says "gives the movie a soulful pull, even at its most predictable".[18] Overall, this reviewer summarized his review by saying that "Cameron Crowe's film has some rough edges, but it ultimately delivers thanks to Matt Damon's moving performance."[18]

The real zoo[edit]
The movie's plot and actual events differ. The real Benjamin Mee is British. The story was adapted for an American audience and Mee approved the changes.[24] The actual zoo Mee bought is Dartmoor Zoological Park, located in Devon, England.[25] The fictional zoo in the film is called Rosemoor Wildlife Park and is located in California.
In real life, Benjamin's wife, Katherine, died after they had already bought the zoo and moved in.[25] In the film, Benjamin bought the zoo after her death. In real life, Benjamin's father had died and his mother needed to move; the farm cost the same price as his parents' house, and his mother came too.[26] Benjamin and his family made a specific and informed decision to buy a zoo. In the film, it occurred as a result of finding a house they liked.
Instead of an escaping bear, as portrayed by the film, it was a jaguar called Sovereign that had escaped.[25] Benjamin's children were also younger (aged four and six respectively) than the children in the film.[25]
In the film, the zoo was much easier to buy. In real life, it took almost two years to buy.[25] Benjamin's first offer to buy the zoo was rejected due to his lack of experience in the zoological world.[25] Finally, the real zoo opened on Saturday July 7, 2007. The movie moved that event up to the same date in 2010. This later date fell on a Wednesday, but was identified in the script as the original Saturday.
Legacy[edit]
The longtime gag-feud between Matt Damon and Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel continued at the 89th Academy Awards ceremony, where Kimmel jokingly mocked Damon's performance in the movie.[27]

Bronze Award Project[edit]
The Bronze Award Project is a team effort by a group of Juniors, usually from a single troop. The project's objective must be to benefit the local community and/or benefit Girl Scouting as a whole in some way. Each scout is expected to contribute 20 hours to the project. The project is to be girl-led, but, unlike the Silver and Gold Awards, adults may be on-hand to assist and guide.
Approval[edit]
The approval process varies by council. Before beginning work on a Take Action Project or a Bronze Project, it is important to check with the local council.
