Luke Wilson In Carl Hiaasen's 'Hoot'


Luke Wilson is to star in the adaptation of Carl Hiaasen's Newbery Award-winning book Hoot, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Brie Larson also has joined the cast of the picture. Written and directed by Wil Shriner, Hoot centers on a young Montana boy who moves with his family to Florida, where he uncovers a plot to systematically destroy a local population of endangered owls. The boy ends up battling unusual creatures and eccentric adults in order to save the owls.

Wilson will portray David Delinko, a bumbling cop whose investigation is stymied by the boy and his friend (Larson). Logan Lerman already has been cast as the boy.
