The Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl – Movie Interview

Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl

Bill Murray is voicing a badger in Wes Anderson’s upcoming animated film version of Roald Dahl’s children’s story The Fantastic Mr. Fox … or at least he’s trying to.

Speaking in an Oct. 3 press conference in New York to promote City of Ember, Murray provided a glimpse into the highly anticipated film, which is written and directed by Anderson.

The story follows Mr. Fox (voiced by George Clooney), who feeds his wife (Cate Blanchett) and children by routinely snatching food from one of three farmers: Boggis, Bunce and Bean. After blowing off Fox’s tail in a near-miss, the exasperated farmers set out to put an end to Mr. Fox’s poaching ways once and for all. But their efforts cause hardships for other digging animals, among them Badger.
