Spielberg brings children's favorite "The BFG" to big screen - premieres in Hollywood
The BFG", is a big screen adaptation of the much-loved story by British author Roald Dahl. The movie premiered in Hollywood at the El Captitan Theater on Tuesday (June 21, 2016). Director Steven Spielberg along with the stars were on-hand to unveil his latest foray into making films through the eyes of children. Mark Rylance, voice of the giant, walked the carpet as well as various celebrity cast members and guests including, John Williams, Jillian Michaels, Mario Lopez, Gloria Reuben, Rebecca Hall, Joely Fisher, Bill Hader among others.
About the Film:
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 the Queen (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. “The BFG” opens in U.S. theaters on July 1, 2016, the year that marks the 100th anniversary of Dahl’s birth.
