Fantastic Mr. Fox Featurette
A brand new behind the scenes featurette for Wes Anderson’s stop-motion animated film “The Fantastic Mr. Fox” has been released.
Synopsis: Mr. Fox, Mrs. Fox, and all their fox babies live under a hill under a tree, along with Badger, Rabbit, Weasel, and all of their families. To make ends meet, every night, Mr. Fox steals a meal from one of the three crooked farmers–Boggis, a chicken farmer, Bunce, who has a little bit of everything but only eats duck liver, and Bean, who farms turkeys and apples and subsists solely on apple cider. With his keen sense of smell, and the farmers’ distinctive diets, Mr. Fox has no problem evading them.
Fantastic Mr. Fox Trailer
Check out the first, official trailer for “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” animated film based on the Roald Dahl book of the same name.
Mr. Fox (George Clooney) and Mrs. Fox (Meryl Streep) live an idyllic home life with their son Ash (Jason Schwartzman) and visiting young nephew Kristopherson (Eric Anderson). But after 12 years, the bucolic existence proves too much for Mr. Fox’s wild animal instincts and he soon slips back into his old ways as a sneaky chicken thief, landing him and his family in a lot of trouble.
The movie features the voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Wally Wolodarsky, Eric Anderson, Michael Gambon, Willem Dafoe, Owen Wilson, Jarvis Cocker and Helen McCrory. It is produced by Wes Anderson, Scott Rudin and Allison Abbate.
The film will be made using the same stop motion photography technique used in “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “James and the Giant Peach.”

Trailer For Norwegian Movie ‘Reprise’
Opening on May 16th is the debut of filmmaker Joachim Trier and his movie is called “Reprise.” While you probably haven’t heard of the film yet as it was made in Norway, the reason you might be interested is “Reprise” is currently good rated 100% on Internet web sites. Add to that, producer Scott Rudin added his name to the film to help the movie get noticed. That isn’t something he usually does.
Since I haven’t seen the film yet and I’d imagine most of you haven’t either, here’s the official synopsis before the trailer.
