Giant Revealed in Teaser Trailer for Spielberg’s ‘The BFG’
Big things are expected from Disney’s The BFG and from the looks of the teaser trailer that dropped today, the film should more than deliver. You can watch it below.
Adapted from Roald Dahl’s classic and directed by Steven Spielberg, The BFG sees Spielberg re-teaming with acclaimed theater actor Mark Rylance who gave an Oscar-worthy performance in Bridge of Spies. In the new film, which doesn’t hit theaters until the summer, Rylance is cast as a “big friendly giant” who introduces a young girl to the wonders and perils of Giant Country. Other members of the cast include Bill Hader (Trainwreck, Inside Out), and Jermaine Clement (“Flight of the Conchords”), who play less friendly giants, as well as Downton Abbey’s Penelope Wilton and Rebecca Hall (The Prestige).
In addition to amazing visual effects, it appears the film features a thrilling soundtrack from John Williams. The BFG opens in theaters July 1, 2016.
