"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."

I did not expect Bill Hader to be the only name i immediately recognise from that cast.

[AniNate]

Mark Rylance may have more name recognition by the time this comes out if his Bridge of Spies praise is to be believed

[RichWS]

Penelope Wilton will always be Barbara from Shaun of the Dead.

Trailer apparently lands today

I know he's barely known in the US, but Rylance is absolutely perfect casting for this.

[Jake Gittes]

After Wolf Hall and Bridge of Spies I'll watch Rylance in anything. Dude is magnetic.

 YES PLZ

[WrathOfHan]

Looks interesting.

[The Futurist]

First Spielberg summer Blockbuster in Eight years !

 

Last was Indy 4.

 

Summmer Game has changed a lot.

 

Very Potter-esque this teaser.

That narration was poor. I'll forget I ever saw this trailer.

[DMan7]

Looks very interesting I'll say that and yes the music and setting does give off a Potter vibe. Spielberg's Potter

It's a good teaser imo. I like the music.

[Hatebox]

The Big Harry Potter. Seems like it'd be better as a winter release.

 

Still, it looks better than Jack and the Whatever it was Called.

[DAJK]

Teaser looks good, but this film would seem like a big risk to me if it wasn't Speilberg.

[BoxOfficeZ]

Is that the new Williams theme for BFG? Sounds lovely whatever that music is. 

[AniNate]

Definitely has the old fashioned kid fantasy vibe. Hope it can stand out among all the superheroes and destructo porn

[kaijukurt]

Looks pretty good. Now this has my attention.

[Jake Gittes]

Very nice. Takes Spielberg these days to make a live-action fantasy film that actually seems worth watching and doesn't look ugly as shit.
