Monday just got a lot better, as a new trailer for The BFG has just landed. Check out the previous trailer here. The BFG poster Plot's it all about? One of your favourite childhood Roald Dahl books is being adapted for the big screen by one of the greatest directors of all time, Steven Spielberg. The perfect match. A young orphaned girl called Sophie is whisked away by a mysterious, dream-catching giant who also happens to be big and friendly. They should call him 'The Giant Who Also Happens To Be Big And Friendly.' Watch out for The Fleshlumpeater and The Bloodbottler though...
