Anyone here a fan of the book "Fantastic Mr. Fox" by Roald Dahl....

They are doing a movie based on the book to be released in 2009.

First, I love that book, probably my favorite book from my childhood.

The movie is to be directed by Wes Anderson - whose kooky movie direction will play well for this whimsical book. (he did Rushmore, Royal Tennebaum to name a few)

The voices for Mr. and Mrs. Fox: George Clooney and Cate Blanchet. Two of my favorite actors.

This should be a great movie!!

2. Noah Baumbach is co-writing the screenplay with Anderson, which is good to.

I am a fan of Baumbach's work.

It's going to be stop-motion animated though, isn't it?
