STRANGE WILDERNESS (2008)



Directed By: Fred Wolf

Cinematography By: David Hennings 
Editor: Tom Costain 


Cast: Steve Zahn, Allen Covert, Jonah Hill, Justin Long, Peter Dante, Harry Hamlin, Kevin Heffernan, Robert Patrick, Ashley Scott, Ernest Borgnine, Blake Clark, Joe Don Baker, Jeff Garlin, Oliver Hudson, Jake Abel 


When his father dies, Peter Gaulke inherits "Strange Wilderness," dad's TV show about animals. After ratings plummet and the show is canceled, we watch a long flashback to see its demise. The studio head gives the show two more weeks. An old friend brings a story about Bigfoot in Ecuador, so a long road trip ensues with stops along the way and enough problems, misjudgments, and deaths to sink a less intrepid band. Peter's team faces competition from a better-funded and more practiced set of rivals. Who will find Bigfoot first, and will they get it on tape and save the show? Can Peter make dad proud?
