NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday explored the story behind the story of The Big Year. The new film, based on Mark Obmascik's book The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature, and Fowl Obsession (movie tie-in edition: Free Press, $15, 9781451648607), opened over the weekend. It stars Steve Martin, Owen Wilson and Jack Black.
WKSU's Mark Urycki spoke with the author, as well as director David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada, Marley & Me) and Greg Miller, one of the three men whose "big year," a 365-day marathon of birdwatching, was chronicled in the book and movie.
