Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Carl Hiaasen wrote the novel after a real Florida development threatened burrowing owls; the movie was shot in the exact same Fort Myers area.
This was Brie Larson's first major film role—she'd win her Oscar exactly ten years later for Room, making this her origin story as cinema's most unexpected scream queen.
