Jonathan Taylor Thomas gets needed rest
“Home Improvement’s” rising star Jonathan Taylor Thomas is getting in some rest and relaxation before the launch of his July 19-debuting “Adventures of Pinocchio” — and he can definitely use it after wrapping production of “Wild America.” Making the Morgan Creek feature proved to be wild indeed. Recreating the 1960s journey of the teenage Stouffer brothers to film endangered species, “Wild” took Thomas and co-stars to “every sort of life zone in North America, from the deepest swamp to the highest snowy mountain peek,” reported producer Mark Stouffer.
“It was a rough project — physically demanding, long days with not much sleep. I’m used to no hotels and no food, but some of these people weren’t,” added Stouffer, a National Geographic documentarian — whose older brother Marty hosts PBS’s “Wild America” series, and whose younger brother Marshall is a wildlife photographer. “We certainly didn’t have the comfort zone of other films, but there was no complaining.”
Taylor Thomas, who stole last year’s big screen “Man of the House” from Chevy Chase, had his pick of film offers for this summer’s hiatus. He chose the modestly budgeted “Wild America,” he said, because he liked its wildlife preservation aspect.
