The BFG (Spielberg Attached to Direct) July 1, 2016

[Hatebox]

There was an 80s feature length cartoon of this that was popular in the UK, surprised it's taken so long to have the Hollywood treatment actually. Hopefully it'll be better than Jack the Giant Slayer...

[Jessie]

DOOM sequel?

Was thinking the exact same thing. BIG FUCKiNG GUN

[Blankments]

Spielberg and Dahl sounds like a match made in heaven. Hype

[Blankments]

Mark Rylance Cast as Steven Spielberg's The BFG

 

[CoolioD1]

That's actually a good and surprising choice. doesn't do many movies but he's highly respected in the theatre world. ofc that doesn't sell many tickets tho.

[Ezen Baklattan]

He's also going to be in St. James Place, too.

[Jonwo]

An inspired choice, wonder how the BFG is going to be portrayed, CG, live action or maybe a bit of both, Rylance is finally hitting the big time with St James Place, the upcoming TV version of Wolf Hall and now The BFG.

[CoolioD1]

bill hader is gonna play one of the giants in this. um, yes.

[Blankments]

This'll be a Spielberg Disney movie. I feel like this is crossing the streams in a kinda cool way.

[Jonwo]

DreamWorks and Disney working together, think this is the first time in a long time that Disney has worked with another studio. 

[Blankments]

Seriously

 

Spielberg+Disney+My Favorite Roald Dahl Book+Bill Hader+Opens 2 Days Before My Birthday

 

This movie is like absolutely made for me and I am hyped

[Chewy]

Man, it feels like it's been forever since there was a new Spielberg. Glad we're getting two soon

That is really cool Disney & Dreamworks are working together on this!

[Ethan Hunt]

I wasn't a fan of the book when I was 7.

Full cast announced http://m.digitalspy.com/movies/news/a641564/disney-boards-steven-spielbergs-the-bfg-as-full-cast-is-revealed.html Edit: A more recent excuse to bump this thread http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/12/steven-spielberg-ready-player-one "One of the things he’s made sure to maintain is “Gobblefunk,” the convoluted dialogue of the big, friendly giant, who speaks in a English fused with gibberish that sounds similar to real words."
