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…

Starring: Ruby Barnhill, Oscar-winner Mark Rylance, Rebecca Hall, Bill Hader and Flight of the Conchords favourite, Jemaine Clement. 

Directed by: Some up-and-comer called Steven Spielberg.

UK release date: 22 July 2016

Enjoy…
