Wolves Repelled by 'Marriage Story' Fight Scene in Oregon

New York, Aug 5 (PTI) The intense and explosive fight scene between Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver in the 2019 film "Marriage Story" is finding an unexpected new use: repelling wolves from cattle in Oregon. Directed by Noah Baumbach, the film earned accolades for its authentic depiction of a couple navigating the emotional turmoil of divorce, capturing a particularly raw moment where the characters confront each other about the collapse of their marriage.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is now utilizing audio from this powerful scene to deter wolves and protect cattle. "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'," the WSJ report explains.

Following a period during which wolves killed 11 cows in 20 days, this method of wolf hazing was implemented, explained a USDA district supervisor from Oregon. "I need wolves to respond and know that, hey, humans are bad." Since the introduction of this strategy, the number of cows killed has decreased significantly, with only two casualties over 85 days.

The critically-acclaimed "Marriage Story" received six Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, with acting nods for both Johansson and Driver.
