, a nature documentary loosely based on the book of the same name by Sean B. Carroll, he wasn’t entirely sure that a film adaptation of this particular title would be possible, or whether he’d be interested in making it.
Given the fact that a great number of nature docs made today are cut-and-dried portraits of doom and gloom, the message of hope to be found withinwas of course attractive to Brown. “Many documentaries will tell you how bad the world is, and leave you quite depressed. But when we saw that a place like the Serengeti can upgrade, that became really exciting. Because I think even the most pessimistic person can get a little glimmer of hope when they realize [this],” the director said.
Ultimately, Paine reached out to the director himself, inviting him into his home, at a time when he was so ill, he could only speak for around 20 minutes a day. “He had a very aggressive form of leukemia, and I just found it so extraordinary that in your dying moments, you would invite a film crew in to hang out with you. But it was a measure of how passionate he was about the subject, how he wanted to communicate,” Brown remarked.
