Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Roald Dahl's The
BFG is being released this July, and a new trailer for
the movie released yesterday offers up the first
look at the movie's titular big friendly giant. Sophie
(Ruby Barnhill) is plucked from her orphanage in the
middle of the night and taken to giant country by the
BFG (Mark Rylance), who picks her because he
"hears [her] lonely heart." They have to work
together to thwart the gang of evil giants you can
see at the trailer's very end, all of whom dwarf the
BFG. (They're voiced by funnymen like Bill Hader and
Jemaine Clement.)
It's clear from the trailer that The BFG is going to be
a gorgeous movie: the giants' sense of scale is
convincing whether they're moving through city
streets or more rural terrain, and Spielberg's giant
country looks every bit as fantastical as you'd
expect from the book. It also looks genuinely scary,
and it's being headed up by a newly minted Oscar
winner in Rylance. Will it manage to captivate both
children and their parents? We'll find out in just a
few months.
