Growing up, I loved Roald Dahl - his books (along with Judy Blume's, Laura Ingalls Wilder's, Ann M. Martin's et al.) are pretty much the reason I became such a bookworm. Matilda was, of course, my favourite, but all of his others are terrific. It's no surprise then, that many of his books have been turned into films - The Witches (which used to terrify me to no end), James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, Matilda (am I forgetting any?). The newest project? Fantastic Mr. Fox will hop onto the big screen this November. Why am I excited? It's directed by Wes Anderson (!!!), and Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman (!!!), Meryl Streep, George Clooney, and Owen Wilson are all lending their voices. I can't get over how, well, fantastic the combination of Roald Dahl + Wes Anderson + Jason Schwartzman is.
