NEW 'BFG' TRAILER
FROM STEVEN SPIELBERG!
Two adventure trailers for you today, beginning with the second one for Steven Spielberg's BFG or BIG FRIENDLY GIANT which will stomp into theatres July 1st!
FRIENDLY GIANT
The movie tells Roald Dahl's imaginative story of a young orphan girl and the Giant (Mark Rylance) who introduces her to the wonders and perils of Giant Country. 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. Rafe Spall also stars!

'LOST CITY OF Z' TRAILER
CHARLIE HUNNAM, ROBERT PATTINSON, SIENNA MILLER AND TOM HOLLAND
The first quite meh trailer has also been, rather quietly, released for the adaptation of David Grann's book THE LOST CITY OF Z which describes real events, about British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam) who made several attempts to find an ancient lost city in the Amazon and finally disappeared in 1925 along with his son in the search for the city. Beside Charlie Hunnam as Colonel Fawcett, the movie also stars Robert Pattinson as his fellow explorer Henry Costin and Sienna Miller as his wife Nina Fawcett! Angus MacFadyen and Tom Holland are also in the cast in the Brad Pitt produced movie which will probably hit cinemas some time in Autumn.
I might have a look at The Lost City of Z! Why didn't they ask Bear Grylls to play in this movie? He is a real specialist of the Amazon Forrest. ;-)

he sure is, and in drinking his own pee :)
DeleteHmm, I like both. Waiting now!
ReplyDeleteglad to hear it
DeleteThe Lost City of Z looks interesting, especially since it's based on a true story.
ReplyDeletewe do love true stories
DeleteI had never heard of the BFG until I took one of those silly online quizzes to find out what Dahl character I was. I got the BFG. Still scratching my head over that one.
ReplyDeletewell, those online quizzes are ever so trustworthy :)
DeleteThese look interesting. I especially want to see The BFG since I'm a Dahl fan.
ReplyDeleteshould be a really fun one if Spielberg doesn't draw it out too much
DeleteLove them both today! BFG was one of my favorite stories when I was little. Charlie is one of my favorite men now that I'm an adult ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you managed to see Hunnam's trailer since they've been taking it down from the net since yesterday :)
DeleteDefinitely plan to see BFG. Maybe Robert should try for television roles in dramas then work his way back into the movies.
ReplyDeletein some bad dramas, maybe, since he is ever so bad in acting
DeleteBFG looks so good! It will be nice to have a family movie released in the Summer. Dahl was such a good story teller and I loved his books as a child. James and the Giant Peach was one of my favourites.
ReplyDeletehope you liked the movie on it from some 15 years ago or so if I remember correctly
DeleteRobert Pattinson is all over our blogs today. Bleh lol. I loved Roald Dahl books growing up. I think I read almost every one. That means me and my are deff seeing that!
ReplyDeleteSadly, he is :)
DeleteOh, I now so want to watch The BFG!
