Must Watch: Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox Trailer
[source: firstshowing.net]
Fox has debuted the trailer for Wes Anderson's stop-motion feature
Fantastic Mr. Fox based on the Roald Dahl classic. This features the voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Willem Dafoe, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Brian Cox, Michael Gambon, and even Wes Anderson himself (as the Weasel). I really want to like this, just because I love well-made stop-motion animation, but I can't get entirely into it yet. It looks very quirky and very fun, literally like a Wes Anderson movie that was made live-action that someone decided to make a stop-motion version of separately. Anyway, check this out!
Fantastic Mr. Fox is both written and directed by the fantastic Oscar nominated filmmaker
Wes Anderson, of
Bottle Rocket,
Rushmore,
The Royal Tenenbaums,
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, and
The Darjeeling Limited most recently. This is based on Roald Dahl's classic children's
book of the same name. Fellow indie director
Noah Baumbach also helped co-write the screenplay with Anderson. Fox Searchlight is bringing Wes Anderson's
Fantastic Mr. Fox to theaters everywhere starting on
November 13th this fall.
