Steve Martin in Talks to Join Jack Black and Owen Wilson in "The Big Year"

Based on a 1998 book by Mark Obmascik, the Fox 2000 comedy would star Martin, Black and Wilson as three men who are trying to outdo each other in a bird-watching competition to spot the rarest birds in North America. The rivalry is an allegory for the challenges each faces in his own life. David Frankel ("Marley & Me") directs.
