The Walt Disney Studios has released
a new trailer for The BFG, Steven Spielberg's big screen adaptation of Roald
Dahl's popular children novel starring Academy Award winning actor Mark Rylance
("Bridge of Spies") as the Big Friendly Giant and newcomer Ruby
Barnhill as Sophie
The BFG tells the imaginative story of
Sophie, a young orphan girl and the Big Friendly Giant who introduces her to
the wonders and perils of Giant Country.
Opening in theaters on July 1, The
BFG also stars Penelope Wilton, Rebecca Hall, Bill
Hader, Jemaine Clement, Michael Adamthwaite, Daniel Bacon, Chris Gibbs, Adam Godley, Jonathan
Holmes, Paul Moniz de Sa and Ólafur Ólaffson.
The talents of three of the world’s greatest
storytellers – Roald Dahl, Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg finally unite to
bring Dahl’s beloved classic “The BFG” to life. Directed by Spielberg, Disney’s
“The BFG” tells the imaginative story of a young girl and the Giant who
introduces her to the wonders and perils of Giant Country. The BFG (Mark
Rylance), while a giant himself, is a Big Friendly Giant and nothing like the
other inhabitants of Giant Country.
Standing 24-feet tall with enormous ears and a keen
sense of smell, he is endearingly dim-witted and keeps to himself for the most
part. Giants like Bloodbottler (Bill Hader) and Fleshlumpeater (Jemaine
Clement) on the other hand, are twice as big and at least twice as scary and
have been known to eat humans, while the BFG prefers Snozzcumber and
Frobscottle. Upon her arrival in Giant Country, Sophie, a precocious
10-year-old girl from London, is initially frightened of the mysterious giant
who has brought her to his cave, but soon comes to realize that the BFG is
actually quite gentle and charming, and, having never met a giant before, has
many questions.
The BFG brings Sophie to Dream Country where he
collects dreams and sends them to children, teaching her all about the magic
and mystery of dreams. Having both been on their own in the world up until now,
their affection for one another quickly grows, but Sophie’s presence in Giant
Country has attracted the unwanted attention of the other giants, who have
become increasingly more bothersome. Sophie and the BFG soon depart for London
to see Queen Victoria (Penelope Wilton) and warn her of the precarious giant
situation, but they must first convince the Queen and her maid, Mary (Rebecca
Hall), that giants do indeed exist. Together, they come up with a plan to get
rid of the giants once and for all.
