[edit] Plot

Animal enthusiast Peter Gaulke (Zahn) and his sidekick Fred Wolf (Covert) host a program about wildlife called "Strange Wilderness," which is in a steep ratings decline. Desperate to save the show, Peter hatches a Hail Mary scheme to find the one animal that could truly turn the show around and change the nature-show landscape forever - Bigfoot.^[1]

[edit] Production

Jonah Hill wrote his role in the film.^[2] Hill gave Cooker a given name, Lynn, because "Lynn is a strong name, and I feel like only people named Lynn can accomplish their goals — no one else, with any other name."^[3]
