Hollywood actors get involved
There are plenty of Hollywood actors who would love to bag a role in a Tiger King movie.

According to Deadline, Lowe is in talks with the American screenwriter about a scripted adaptation.
However, sources stress, 'that conversations are in very preliminary stages.'
Rob might have some competition in fellow actor Dax Shepard who re-posted a photo of himself as Joe Exotic.
