The Detroit Zoo has a part to play in the Jenna Fischer romantic comedy "The Giant Mechanical Man."

Zoo Executive Director Ron Kagan says "it should be very exciting to see the zoo on the silver screen The zoo served as a backdrop for several scenes in the film that's set to screen Monday at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.

Although the scenes are set at the fictitious Fillmore Park Zoo, it's not hard to make out such Detroit Zoo staples as the Arctic Ring of Life and Rackham Fountain.

Besides Fischer, "The Giant Mechanical Man" features Chris Messina, Malin Akerman and Topher Grace.

The Detroit Zoo scenes featuring the movie's lead characters were shot in December 2010.
