Some photos from the set of the Big Year movie (loosely based on the book) have been “leaked.”
I want to watch birds with him for several reasons. Number one, he’s Owen Wilson (known by some as the Butterscotch Stallion) and my hormones demand it that I be somewhere in his vicinity. Number two, I love most of his movies–Royal Tennenbaums, Zoolander, anything with Jackie Chan (if I could have an Owen Wilson/Jackie Chan sandwich, I’d die a happy woman…did I just share too much…) Number three, I WISH more birders dressed like this. Hot pink pants? Purple jacket? Turquois shirt? I have that exact hat only mine is in leopard print.

Clearly Tilley wasn’t able to cough up a pellet of cash for the product placement….
Too funny. He is hella sexy. The outfit is just icing on the cake baby!
I dunno. He’d probably be bumming your binoculars the whole time cause he clearly didn’t bring his own.
For certain “favors” I’d let him look through my Swarovski scope. Heck, I might even let him wear the harness…to my Swarovski ELs, of course…not some other sort of harness…really I mean a binocular harness…insert Homer Simpson donut noise…mmmm, Owen Wilson in a harness…
more photos here, too, including Steve Martin with what looks like a nice pair of Swaros http://www.accidentalsexiness.com/2010/05/09/on-the-scene-owen-wilson-jack-black-and-steve-martin/?pid=13105
I had heard through the grapevine that Steve Martin was going to wear Swarovski bins–good to see confirmation. Thanks, Hugh.
I would wear anything you wanted me to, BC! ;P
I’m not sure when this movie comes out but I think
we should mark it for a “Birds & Beers” event. Yeah,
50+ TC birders juiced-up watching Jack Black – have to
be there!
Who’s the director? I would love another Wes Anderson with Owen and birds!
Oh, I’m telling ya. They better not screw this movie up! It’s not very often that Hollywood puts out a birder movie (ever?) so I hope it becomes my new favorite comedy.
Wow, that looks great. Some of my fave actors doing my fave hobby… excellent.
hmmmm, I can’t get past his nose (how superficial of me) but love Steve Martin…so I’ll go, I’ll go!
Timeout for you. Get goin.
Awesome! I hadn’t heard about this movie — cool!
Hey, are you going to Cape May this year?
Who is playing who? I’m assuming that Jack Black, Steve Martin and Owen Wilson are playing Greg Miller, Al Levantin and Sandy Komito (not necessarily in that order), but I haven’t seen anything that actually confirms this.
Must be a funny movie with this cast
“Parsons, star of CBS’ “The Big Bang Theory,” plays the author of a popular avian blog.”
It’s going to be hard to see him as anything but Sheldon.
Just saw this:
“OOS is running an interview with Greg Miller regarding his experiences on the set in our summer newsletter. Miller, of course, abides by his non-disclosure agreement but shares his excitement with being a birding consultant for the film. Says he was in tears, from laughing so hard, while watching Jack Black in action.”
OOS = Ohio Ornithological Society
(Glad to hear they got a birding consultant)
I’m still amazed that someone is making a movie about birding….
I would love to go birding anytime with anyone who wore such a brightly colored Easter-Egg looking outfit. That would be a wonderful, welcome change from the usual “dun”, “khaki”, or “dark olive” shades so typical of birding attire. As opposed to scaring birds away, I think everything from a loons to siskins would come flying hither out of sheer surprise and curiousity.
Wait, so is Owen Wilson supposed to be Sandy Komito? I guess it’s not a biopic, so they don’t care, but none of the 3 look anything like him.
Hey check this out:

“While observing the Little Curlew in Santa Maria, CA
Sandy Komito took the wrong step trying to get a
better LooK – he fell into quick-sand and the
other birders couldn’t help him for all they
saw were his LOUD PLAID PANTS !!”
I guess Owen is channelling Sandy afterall. Perhaps Sandy had a history of wearing loud clothes.
