Rosario Dawson Cajoled Into Breeding With Kevin James By ‘The Zookeeper’

We make it sound like it could be some kind of twisted, psycho-sexual, torture porn thriller don’t we?  But no.  It’s a romantic comedy.

Variety reports that Rosario Dawson (Seven Pounds) has signed to star with Kevin James (Paul Blart: Mall Cop) in the upcoming film, The Zookeeper.  James plays a romantically inept zookeeper who receives help from the animals on the art of dating, mating, and masturbating.  (Maybe not so much that last part, but I was in a rhyming mood.)  Dawson will have to muster all of her formidable talent to play the love interest.

It’s not clear yet if the animals will actually talk or if they’ll just mime their way through the plot, but being a Happy Madison (Adam Sandler) production we should probably expect lots of hilarious animal farts.  The movie will be directed by Frank Coraci who made the funny and sweet The Wedding Singer in 1998 and has been sliding downhill ever since.

Do you want to see Kevin James fornicating with Rosario Dawson?

  • excuse me while I go vomit. It's so pathetic and laughable how they pair a beautiful woman like Rosario Dawson (or Elizabeth Banks) with a fat, ugly guy like Kevin James or Seth Rogan.

    Yeah, in your dreams, boys. Rosario Dawson deserves better than to star in a rom-com with such an ugly douche-bag.
  • Hey now, some women like guys who are funny... Doesn't matter what they look like.

    I know this from experience, thank you very much.
  • Is this a lame attempt at bringing a "BIG SCREEN" version of The King of Queens to the local cinemaplex?
  • Oh of course it should be Matthew McConaughey.
  • I'm with you on this one...it's really getting ridiculous.

    Time to create a new genre... 'The Comedic Fantasy' genre...or ComFan. Cause a meatball like Kevin James getting with someone like Rosario Dawson is no less a flight of fancy than Orcs or Quidditch .
  • y'all are acting like this is some sort of conspiracy. It's simply the film industry.

    Question 1: How do we make audiences interested/feel-good? Answer: make them feel good that a fat dork zookeeper can land a girl like Rosario.

    Question 2: How could "they pair a beatiful woman like Rosario Dawson (or Elizabeth Banks) with a fat, ugly guy like Kevin James. Answer: Rosario wants the fucking money. DUH.
  • Or, all the good scripts have gone on to non-acting A-listers(Jennifer Aniston). Instead of someone who can actually act and weighs more than 88lbs soaking wet.

    I honestly d't care about the realism of the premise, or how crappy the movie is going to be.

    I just want to see Rosario. Dawson.
