The zoo is location for the filming of a zookeeper movie, starring Kevin James. Franklin Park Zoo gets Hollywood treatment for upcoming movie - The Boston Globe The zoo has received a "substantial location fee"...maybe enough to fund a good portion of the zoo's new masterplan?
Hey, if that is how we get the funding for the masterplan, so be it. Although it will probably be the second crappy Kevin James movie shot in the Boston area (Mall Cop was the other). At least will get the money for it.
