Though every week is Big Cat Week in our hearts, it’s about to officially be Big Cat Week over at Nat Geo Wild.
The premise here is simple. In similar fashion to Sharkfest 2020 before it (which ran for five weeks), National Geographic’s animal-focused channel will be rolling out big cat-centric programming for five days next week. Big Cat Week starts on Monday, Sept. 7 at 2 p.m. Et and runs through Friday, Sept. 11.
The first catty offering from Nat Geo Wild is the documentary Jade Eyed Leopard, from notable National Geographic filmmakers and founders of the Big Cat Initiative Beverly and Dereck Joubert. Jade Eyed Leopard premieres Monday, Sept. 7 at 8 p.m. Et. The hour-long special follows a young leopard named Toto through the turbulent first three years of her life. Toto has aquamarine-colored eyes, which is an extremely rare trait in leopards. The documentary also uses the thermal-night-vision...

[1] As Salt director Phillip Noyce weighs the options for his next move, one long-gestating project has begun to pick up steam. Late last year, Noyce took over the helm of My Wild Life (formerly titled Our Wild Life), a drama based the real-life story of Kenyan elephant conservationist Daphne Sheldrick, and Nicole Kidman began circling [2] the lead role this past spring. As Noyce and Kidman got busy with other things, however, My Wild Life seemed to fall by the wayside. But Kidman is now officially attached to star, and with Mandalay Pictures working on getting the rights from New Line, the biopic could be hitting theaters during next year's holiday season. More details after the jump. My Wild Life has been in the works since last year, with Nick Cassavetes (The Notebook) originally slated to direct. However, he jumped ship and eventually sued New Line for not letting him direct...

Lioness Ma di Tau means business when it comes to her cubs in The Last Lions.
Filled with dazzling views of the African jungle and eye-opening adventure scenarios, The Last Lions is a documentary film that focuses on a proud lioness and her three cubs as they confront such formidable foes as crocodiles, a herd of buffaloes and a rival pride of big cats.
The 2011 movie was made by the South African husband-and-wife team Dereck and Beverly Joubert, veterans of wildlife moviemaking, and narrated by actor Jeremy Irons (The Mission).
The real-life saga of lioness Ma di Tau and her cubs unfolds inside the reality that lions are vanishing from the wild: In the last 50 years, lion populations have reportedly plummeted from 450,000 to as few as 20,000. With The Last Lions, the Jouberts offer a narrative story while posing the...

A review of the Oscar-nominated nature documentary “The Last Lions.”
Nice.
A review of the Oscar-nominated nature documentary “The Last Lions” from a screening interrupted halfway through by a fire alarm?
Geen-yus!
True, it’ might not be best to review a movie that you’ve only seen halfway. But that’s one of the beauties of nature. The plot is pretty straightforward, and there are not a whole lot of unforeseen plot twists. If you get confused, you have the soothing FM voice of Jeremy Irons to cover the lost ground.
The documentary, by South Africans Dereck and Beverly Joubert, lays down the “man encroaching upon natural habitat” card a little thick. Wild, evil lions, driven from their normal habitat, kill papa lion and drive our relatively friendly lioness out of her domain. She hustles...
