New BFG Film
Steven Spielberg is to go back behind the camera to direct a new film of The BFG, Roald Dahl’s much-loved children’s book about a “Big Friendly Giant”.
The Jaws and Close Encounters director will begin shooting in early 2015.
First published in 1982, the book tells of an orphaned girl named Sophie who is befriended one night by a kindly giant.
According to the Roald Dahl Literary Estate, the film will be released in 2016 to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the author’s birth.
“We are delighted that Steven Spielberg will bring his inventive genius to directing the story of The BFG,” it said in a statement.
The director will work from a screenplay by Melissa Mathison, who previously wrote the Oscar-nominated script for his 1982 hit E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
“The BFG has enchanted families and their children for more than three decades,” said Spielberg in a statement posted on the Roald Dahl website.
“We are honoured that the Roald Dahl estate has entrusted us with this classic story.”

Steven Spielberg will adapt Roald Dahl’s beloved BFG for the big screen, but probably not before he completes his untitled Cold War thriller with Tom Hanks.

According to THR, Spielberg will make BFG for DreamWorks in the early months of 2015, giving him time to squeeze in a “smaller movie” before then.
Paint The Roses, Quickly, Quickly!
Paint The Roses, Quickly, Quickly!
Hurry – hurry!
The Queen is coming!
Paint the roses, quickly, quickly.
Hurry – HURRY!
I hear her creeping,
As ever faster my heart is beating!
Sorry – sorry!
We’ve failed our duty,
The Queen has seen us, sadly, badly!
Hurry – HURRY!
We must scamper,
Lest our heads with them she tampers!
HURRY – OH HURRY!
(There is no hurry),
Our heads were targeted; we’re lost; they’ve parted.
All is calm.
