Lions and Tigers and Stitches, Oh My! The Making of Roar
When Melanie Griffith and Tippi Hedren spent five years filming a wild-animal epic gone violently wrong
Roar is the story of a family — including Tippi Hedren and real-life daughter Melanie Griffith — stalked by lions and tigers on an African nature preserve.
When it was finally released in the United States in 2015 — nearly 40 years after it began its five-year, accident-filled shoot — savvy distribution company Drafhouse Films used the tagline, "No Animals Were Harmed in the Making of This Film. Seventy Cast and Crew Members Were."
