‘The BFG’ Trailer: Steven Spielberg and Disney Adapt Roald Dahl
Steven Spielberg took on serious, grown-up fare for his last three films, Bridge of Spies, Lincoln and War Horse. Now he’s going back to the childhood-wonder-y part of himself that made The Adventures of Tintin in 2011 and films like E.T. and Jurassic Park years before. And he’s doing it with Roald Dahl.
The BFG, a 1982 novel about the eponymous big friendly giant befriending a girl called Sophie, is coming to theaters via Disney and Spielberg on July 1, 2016. Based on the first trailer—the closely contained teaser-ish type, not the clips-from-all-over-the-movie kind—we can probably expect a nice balance between the Welsh author’s creepy and kooky sides. We’re looking forward to seeing more of 11-year-old newcomer Ruby Barnhill.
