The Fantastic Mr. Fox
October 14, 2009
The Premiere took place in Leicester Square followed by a Party in Chelsea.
Yesterday I travelled from Italy into London for the premiere of Wes Anderson’s animation feature, “The Fantastic Mr Fox” that opened the London film festival. George Clooney, who gives the voice to Mr Fox, flew in from the Italian set of “The American” to join cast and crew of this very original animation from the famous books by Roald Dahl. Meryl Streep, the voice of Mrs Fox, went down with the flu and didn’t make the flight from the US. But Bill Murray was there to spark things up with Francis Coppola nephew, Jason Schwartzman - voices of other characters in the movie.
As I left Milan, the day before, I picked up a fresh printed copy of OGGI and surprised George with a 5 pages report from my set visit of “The American”...
