Though I haven't been all that into the upcoming film Hoot ever since the release of its very bopper trailer, the recent poster for the film actually looks pretty good.

Three middle-schoolers take on greedy land developers, corrupt politicians, and clueless cops in the mystery adventure Hoot based on Carl Hiaasen's Newbery Honor-winning book. Produced by Jimmy Buffet, Frank Marshall (Seabiscuit, Signs) and Walden Media (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Holes), Hoot revolves around a Montana boy who moves to Florida and unearths a disturbing threat to a local population of endangered owls. Determined to protect his new environment, the boy and his friends fight to prevent the adults from making a big mistake. Packed with surprising plot twists, quirky characters, and offbeat humor, Hoot is a classic story that's fun for all ages.
New Line Cinema recently released the first poster for Hoot to the web (below).

I love how the trailer for the film laughs at the main character because he is from Montana. It reminds me of how the television series The OC laughs at the character because he's from Chino. What do people have against these locations?
The only real perk that Hoot has going for it is the fact that Luke Wilson is part of the cast and it is targeting a recently-strong family market.
Hoot comes to theatres April 21st.
