The director is still deep in production on another film, We Bought A Zoo scheduled to release this December. The drama, based on the novel by Benjamin Mee and co-scripted by Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada), is about a father (Matt Damon) who moves his family to the countryside to re-open a struggling zoo.
The third film scheduled this year will be a doc Crowe has been working on for quite some time now is Pearl Jam Twenty a career-spanning look at the Seattle rock band.
The documentary, that will have a September release, is being assembled from 18 to 20 hours of material from the band‘s long career as well as footage he‘s shot over the last year and a half.
