Following the Cannes premiere of Steven Spielberg’s follow-up to Bridge of Spies, his adaptation of Roald Dahl‘s The Bfg, Disney has released a new full-length trailer for the adventure, giving away much more of the titular character’s fantasy-filled world. Coming from the late E.T. scribe Melissa Mathison, the story follows a young girl, Sophie, who guides the Queen of England and the Bfg (Mark Rylance, coming off his Oscar win for Spielberg) — a big, friendly giant — to stop Bloodbottlers, the big and unfriendly sort, from eating children.

Unfortunately, we were mixed on the film, saying in our review from the festival, “CGI loses the day in Steven Spielberg’s The Bfg, a partly motion-captured, eco-minded adaptation of Roald Dahl’s adored children’s book that leans so heavily on green-screen trickery that even Mark Rylance’s kind eyes — squinting out from that computer-generated abyss — can’t save it from mediocrity.

Finally returning to the summer movie blockbuster arena, Steven Spielberg’s follow-up to Bridge of Spies is his adaptation of Roald Dahl‘s The Bfg. Coming from the late E.T. scribe Melissa Mathison, it follows a young girl, Sophie, who guides the Queen of England and the Bfg (Mark Rylance, coming off his Oscar win for Spielberg), a big, friendly giant, to stop Bloodbottlers, the big and unfriendly sort, from eating children.

A fantastic new trailer has now arrived, which shows of much more of our main creature, as well as the sheer scale and wonder at play here. Featuring the cast of Ruby Barnhill, Bill Hader, Jemaine Clement, Michael David Adamthwaite, Daniel Bacon, Chris Gibbs, Adam Godley, Jonathan Holmes, Paul Moniz de Sa and Olafur Olaffson, check out the new trailer below.

The talents of three of the world’s greatest storytellers – Roald Dahl, Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg...

After helming the more adult-geared drama Bridge of Spies, as Steven Spielberg is known to do, he also went ahead and shot a family-friendly tentpole before his Tom Hanks-led feature even made it to theaters. His adaptation of Roald Dahl‘s The Bfg comes from the late from E.T. scribe Melissa Mathison, and it follows a young girl, Sophie, who guides the Queen of England and the Bfg, a big, friendly giant, to stop Bloodbottlers, the big and unfriendly sort, from eating children.

The first trailer is much more of a teaser, thankfully not revealing too much footage yet. However, with its magical tone and wonderful-looking design, this looks to be the most fun Spielberg’s had in awhile, and we can’t wait to see it next summer. (It also looks to be a great double feature with A Monster Calls.) Featuring the cast of Mark Rylance, Ruby Barnhill,...

Because he sometimes enjoys finishing one movie while starting another (see Jurassic Park and Schindler’s List), Steven Spielberg is kicking off work on Roald Dahl adaptation The Bfg even as he puts the final touches to Cold War thriller Bridge Of Spies. He’s now added Jemaine Clement, Penelope Wilton and Rebecca Hall to the cast. And they’re not the only new additions, as David Adamthwaite, Daniel Bacon, Chris Gibbs, Adam Godley, Jonathan Holmes, Paul Moniz de Sa and Olafur Olafsson have all been hired to join Mark Rylance’s titular character, Ruby Barnhill as young heroine Sophie and Bill Hader, who is playing one of the less charming giants. While most of the other roles remain cloaked in mystery we do know that Wilton will be the Queen and Hall her maid. Royal Wilton: admit it, you knew it was headed that way.Adapted by E.T.’s...

After directing Bridge of Spies starring Tom Hanks, director Steven Spielberg is moving very quickly to begin production on his next project, an adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic children's book The Bfg (which means The Big Friendly Giant). Shooting is beginning in Vancouver this month, and today Walt Disney Studios announced that it will co-produce and co-finance the film DreamWorks.
