OK, this guy is an obvious lunatic. He and his girlfriend both ended up bear food. But the up close photography of these AK Bears is amazing.

Here's a link to the movie trailer: Grizzly Man trailer

I watched the trailer. I'd like to nominate this guy for a Darwin award.

"What a big bear. Oh he's a big bear"...

What an ultra-maroon.

The shame is that this movie will probably get someone else killed.

Both he and his girlfriend proved everything everyone was telling them... that the bears were not what he thought they were, that the bears were going to kill him.

In the trailer, did you guys happen to catch that this guys (pillow ??) was a teddy bear?

That or he just had a teddy bear in his tent with him. I'm almost hoping he was using it for a pillow, but personally, either way -- I'd be REAL concerned.

What an Idiot.

Although, it'd probably be a good place for some of the PITA idiots!

What's even more amazing is being up close & personal with a real one. I didn't spend time looking at the trailer but my impression is that it's about "Numbnuts" Treadwell. That guy surely killed his girlfriend as if he had put a gun to her head & pulled the trigger. Yup! Darwin's theory of natural selection sure worked with him. Bear in Fairbanks

man....ego...a therapist would have a field day with this guy...shame he did not respect them enough to live by their rules. to get close is enough...they are not teddy bears. why dont some undrestand wild animals are wild animals and that is the way they should be

Pure Genuises I mean retards.

Definetly a certified number one lunatic.

It is sad that this guy will become a hero to others who are just as confused as he was. I sure as hell hope they show this warrior getting his ass chewed up. I heard there is video of his glorious death.

Nope, but there is an audio tape of the maulings of the two numbskulls. Apparently, the video camera was knocked over and no visual exists... but the audio was recording the sounds.

Where could one get this audio at?

I went to one of his slide shows in Laramie Wyoming about 9 years ago. His photography of the bears was absolutely spectacular!, but he spoke to the audience as if we were all grade schoolers. He also spoke of the bears like they were all just cuddly teddy bears, and had cute names for all of them like Cuddles and Foo-Foo. A friend and I commented that it was just a matter of time before he got munched.

JARROD - Where could one get this audio at?

Jarrod, I saw the guy being interviewed on teeeveee, who made the movie about the nitwit, Timmy. He claimed he had the tape, and that it was so horrifying to listen to that he could not run the tape to the end.

That's all I know.

L.W.

I saw a show on discovery (I think) about him. He is a fool. On the night before he was supposed to leave a bear ate him and his girlfriend. As far as I know the tape was never released. On the documentary he was saying he was there to protect the bears from the big bad hunters. Its kind of ironic that because he was there and subseqently killed and eaten by a bear that that bear had to die because of him. In the film they tried to make out like the bear paid him the ultimate compliment by treating him like another bear.....YEAH RIGHT. That bear was hungry and was sick of some stupid hippie calling him cute little names and speaking baby talk to him. In my opinion, If you play with fire....

The even stupidest thing about all this is he never ever got a single poacher on video. The most he got was a fisherman throwing a rock at a Grizz that got too close. All he did was habituate bears to human presence....AKA the worst thing he could have done. The best thing a bear can do if it is interested in saving its own hide is run when it senses a human. He also did this in a well traveled national park, odds are thats not where the poachers are. What a dipshit. Frankly I am glad he is taken out of the gene pool before he had a chance to spread his genes. More bears and more people are going to die because of his actions and this movie then he ever saved from poachers, which by the way is pretty close to none. The bears tolerated his crap for a long time which speaks of the bears more then this stupid fool. The thing was he always was there during the Salmon season. The first time he stayed after he was killed and eaten. Darwin's a bitch huh timmy.

After viewing the brief trailer, I'm struck by his obvious self-promotion...a whole lot of "I" this and "I" that.

There are always a few copy-cat folks out there that may watch this documentary and say "me too!". I hope not for their sakes as they're as likely to be killed as Treadwell and his girlfriend. Too bad for them as their "activism" really hasn't done anything for the bears as the bears were and are doing just fine by most accounts.

I guess the trailer works! I'll go see it if it plays in my neighborhood. It’s tough to tell how the director is going to portray this. If it’s really just a documentary of what happened everyone can draw their own conclusions. That may be upsetting to some if they don’t come right out and say he was a nut, although the tag line pretty much does.

I have heard the audio tape before, I can’t remember where but I think it was around (on the news) just after the incident. If I remember correctly it ran out of tape before it was completely over.

What a shmuck! He said the Grizzly Maze was extremly dangerous and quote :"If you come here or camp here and try to do what I do, you will die here, you will freakin' die here, they will get you"! On the map they said that is where the idiot was found.

I haven't heard the audio, but back when this happened there was a partial transcript of it on CNN.com.

Holy Crap!! I just watched the trailer. "Animals rule! Timothy conquered!" What in the hell kind of quote is that? It appears to me that this guy had absolutely no respect for nature, and that this was a stunt to boost his own ego.

You make a very good point Bulldog. Not many animals, even predators, out in nature are still willing to kill or attack on a full belly unless they're really in fear of their life with nowhere to go.

But with a "rumbly tumbly" (pardon the Winnie the Pooh pun there) ... it's a whole different ballgame.

I was always courious how old dum ass Tim got permission to camp in that place in the Park? Maybe the Park Superintendent was a closet Green Peacer?
I bet if I tried to get permission to camp there and do what he did, it wouldn't happen. I think in Katmai Park people are very closely controlled.

Well, I finally got to see the flick. Werner Herzog produced and directed the film which was basically a documentary of Treadwell's work and the the people who knew him, worked with him, even the medical examiner who described the three garbage bags of people parts they picked up and/or cut out of the dead bear.
The film really doesn't seek to promote or endorse Treadwell's wacky version of reality. In fact if anything it really goes out of the way to interview people who thought he was completely messed up including his parents, park officials, and others. People representing the wacky world of animal rights are certainly represented since this is where Timmy found his support and funding. But in no way is this a simple glorification of Treadwell's work.
In many ways it was a very sobering look at a clearly disturbed human being and how his misguided passion eventually ended up costing him and at least 2 of the bears he loved their lives. The footage is amazing...

When "nature" shows started, the observers were in blinds etc. They gave the animals respect. Along comes "the crocodile hunter", jumping on everything and pissing off nature. Now everyone trying to make a name is saying hey, if shit for brains can do it I can esculate for better viewing.
What I am saying is, what is coming on the horizon? What are legions of future shit for brains scheming for to be noticed?

I was in the area shortly after the maulings and there was no surprise from people that knew him. He openly said his goal was to be able to "touch his bears". Most people felt it was simply a matter of time.

What a friggin cookoo. Hopefully the bear enjoyed his supper.

Another PETA peter puffer who forgot he was on the food chain!

Take a look at the book "The Grizzly Maze" by Nick Jans. I haven't seen the movie yet, but the book is a balanced account of Tim Treadwell. The first 2/3 of the book is a non-stop read about Tim's background, the bears of Kaflia, and the days leading up to the attack...the last part isn't too bad either, but more about the author's (a one-time brown bear hunter) own manifestation of bear encounters & hunting.

As far as the audio is concerned, the book stated the authorities turned it over to Tim's associate/best friend who helped him organize "Grizzly People".
