Scarlett Johansson & Adam Driver’s ‘Marriage Story’ Scenes Are Being Used By USDA To Scare Wolves From Killing Cattle: “Humans Are Bad”
Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver‘s scenes from Marriage Story are reportedly being repurposed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in their quest to save cattle from wolves.
According to a new report from the Wall Street Journal, the scene being used is the most dramatic moment of the 2019 Noah Baumbach film.
“Riding to the rescue are drone cowhands, whose quadcopters have thermal cameras that can reveal any wolf lurking in the darkness and bathe it in a spotlight. A loudspeaker broadcasts alarming sounds like fireworks, gunshots and people arguing. One recording is of the fight between Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver in the movie Marriage Story,” reads the report from WSJ.
A USDA district supervisor in Oregon added, “I need wolves to respond and know that, hey, humans are bad.”
WSJ notes that “wolf hazing” was practiced in Oregon after wolves killed 11 cows during a 20-day period. After drones were deployed to patrol the area using this practice, only two cows were killed in 85 days.
Marriage Story was written and directed by Baumbach and released by Netflix in 2019. The film stars Johansson and Driver as a couple going through a bi-coastal divorce, which is complicated even more with custody issues of their son.
The film earned six Oscar nominations including one for Best Picture and acting for both Johansson and Driver.
