STEVEN SPIELBERG HELMS
DAHL'S BIG FRIENDLY GIANT
We've mentioned Steven Spielberg and his possible plans recently, but
it seems that he will go into the fantasy genre helming the movie
adaptation of Roald Dahl's BFG which stands for The Big Friendly Giant!
It is a story of a lovable, dream-hunting giant and Sophie, the little
girl who first spots him through the window of the orphanage where she
lives. She befriends the gentle giant, and when she hears that the other
evil giants are descending upon England, she enlists BFG’s help to
thwart them. Spielberg will do this one after he finishes directing Tom
Hanks in an untitled Cold War thriller!

CHACE CRAWFORD IN
ELOISE MOVIE THRILLER
In a totally opposite genre - the genre of horrors, 'Deadline' reports that Chace Crawford and Eliza Dushku will star in psychological thriller ELOISE. The intriguing plot is set in a defunct insane asylum known as ELOISE! Four friends break into the abandoned institution in hopes of finding a death certificate, which will provide Jacob (Chace Crawford) with the rights to a sizable inheritance. While inside the asylum, the group not only finds that the institution houses a horrifying history but also the truth about their own tragic pasts.
DID YOU KNOW?
The movie will be shot in Detroit's Eloise Insane Asylum which was one of the largest mental institutions in the world. Built as one building in 1832, it rapidly grew into a 78 building self-sustained city with its own fire and police departments, train station, post office and farms. Eloise closed its doors in 1982, and has since been dormant and left to ruin.

Oh, yes! Macbeth is looking dark and brooding, just the way I like him.
ReplyDeleteAnd I watched 12 Years a Slave the other night. Fassbender played a horrible, disgusting man in it, but of course he did it brilliantly. Will look forward to his Macbeth. :)
I'm still rooting for the two of us to get the roles of the cauldron cooking witches :) I'd die happy if that could happen :)
DeleteI watched SNOWPIERCER last night with Chris Evans and Octavia Spencer, I think you would like the writing in that one, it's very intriguing and engaging, although it ends badly...
Oh yes indeed. Looking forward to Macbeth for sure.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting choice for Speilberg, a Ronald Dahl book. I'm betting he read Dahl when he was a child.
Hope it will be highly stylized, dear! I love when they put an artistic touch into Shakespearean adaptations.
DeleteDid you see the stage production with David Tennent? It was the most unusual production I've ever seen and it took a while to get into it. But it was very interesting. I saw it on the Netflix.
DeleteI haven;'t dear, and don't know who Tennent is, have to Google him
DeleteI really liked Marion Cotillard in Dark Knight Rises
ReplyDeletethat horrid and disgusting crap of a movie?
DeleteThat still from "Macbeth" looks suitably cold and windswept.
ReplyDeletewe do like its atmospheric side, don't we?
DeleteRoald Dahl is my MOST FAVORITE writer. His granddaughter Sophie (who he named the little girl in the book after), has her own cookery show.
ReplyDeleteReally? Is she good?

DeleteI don't know if that link will work for you, but if so, you can check her out. She has her grandfather's passion. Wonderful to see.
Yep, it's a wonderful book, Sophie's is. I own all of Dahl's stories.
Deletedo you read them to little Blue before sleeping?
DeleteAre you being ambiguous?
DeleteI don't know, am I?
DeleteDepends on how you interpret my question :p
Deletedepends on whether you see little Blue as little or not :P
DeleteNow we're talking Mr Expert.
DeleteOoh, creepy good! I love the idea of location filming ;D
ReplyDeleteI hope you are doing well~
thrillers in isolated places are always the most suspenseful!
DeleteMacbeth looks interesting. I have a number of Roald Dahl's books on audio. I need to listen to them. With Spielberg involved, it should be good.
ReplyDeleteit just might, he won't make it a dark movie, but a warm lovely heartwarming one, which is just what the world needs today
DeleteI agree. But create your own stories, Hollyheads.
Deletenot gonna happen any time soon
DeleteAre you telling me none of them listens to The Dezz?
Deletewe're working on them bowing in front of us.... we're in the process of buying as a whip!
DeleteI love Roald Dahl's stories. It's great to see BFG adapted.
ReplyDeleteI've never read any, but I know he is popular
DeleteNever? I need to sit down. Oh I'm sitting already. In that case, I need to lie down.
Deletepull yourself together, man! Most of US kids writers aren't really known around the world.... Seuss, Dahl.... just to name a few
DeleteDahl? The British guy via Norway? ;)
Deletehe's from Norway and Britain? 'Tis the same.... British, American... popular in their own realms....
DeleteSteven Spielberg, don't go anywhere near Dahl's beautiful stories, please. First you messed up TinTin and now you want to make an adaptation of the BFG? Go adapt your own ideas or draw a dinosaur. Could you do that for me?
ReplyDeleteSteve says he could not and would not :)
DeleteShocker.
Deletehe's a nasty man...
DeleteI blame E.T.
Deleteand A.I. too
DeleteThose two look like they'll be awesome in Macbeth.
ReplyDeleteI loved The BFG.
fingers crossed for Macbeth!
DeleteAwe, yeah! I loved the BFG book when I was a kid. I can't wait to see it in movie form! Whoo Hoo!
ReplyDeletehope it will be wonderful and magical
DeleteDezz... did she say, "Whoo Hoo"?
DeleteWho said Whoo Hoo to Who? And who asks who said whoo hoo to who?
DeleteNow I really need to lie down.
Deleteand put Angie over you.... or under... your pick....
DeleteEloise-a horror film based on an actual existing place is definitely scary. Not sure if I'm brave enough to watch it. The story line sounds interesting. Wow, Marion Cotillard as Lady Macbeth is a must see
ReplyDeleteI've seen some of the looney houses in my country and any of them would fit a horror movie perfectly
Deletei am intrigued about Macbeth... some great things attached to the project.
ReplyDeletehope the final product is good!
DeleteRooting for Mcbeth!
ReplyDeleteOne of my faves!
mine too, Dave
DeleteMichael should be quite excellent in the role.
ReplyDeleteI do expect it so, Fran
DeleteDamn, Dezz. I wasn't kidding when I said Shakespeare is violent... I just saw Macbeth... The first few minutes are horrible.
