This isn’t a Cheryl Strayed journey, but David Cross as Dr. Robert Pyle, a blocked nature writer, in THE DARK DIVIDE is also straying off the grid in a wandering escape-cancer sojourn. 
Based on a true adventure, there are wild animals in this endearing movie. As in? “The only dangerous animals I’ve run into are your men.” Debra Messing is the muse and the loved one in this.
Here’s a deleted scene for grins, because it’s a campfire tale in the traditional style.
Yes, this nixed yarn is a Big Foot moment…
Didn’t Make THE DARK SIDE Final Cut But Great Storytelling
This is the official word from Strike Back Studios
The Dark Divide is based on the true story of renowned butterfly expert Dr. Robert Pyle’s (David Cross) perilous 1995 journey across one of America’s largest undeveloped wildlands. At the urging of his dying wife Thea (Debra Messing ), the shy author finds himself in over his head on an epic, life-changing expedition through Washington’s Gifford Pinchot National Forest in search of new species of butterflies. 
Over the course of his six-week adventure Pyle battles self-doubt, the grueling trail, and the people and creatures who call this forest home. And, somewhere deep in the heart of The Dark Divide, he makes a discovery that challenges everything he knows about the natural world. With David Koechner, Cameron Esposito, Gary Farmer and Patterson Hood. Music by The Avett Brothers, Giants in the Trees featuring Krist Novoselić, The National Reserve, Samantha Crane, Bombadil, and more.
