Fantastic Mr. Fox

Fantastic Mr Fox

Some Monday morning fun.

A new stop-motion film from Wes Anderson is coming in November — Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Featuring the voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray and Owen Wilson.

Wired magazine has a short writeup about the film in this month’s magazine.

According to the article, Anderson micro-managed the filming of the entire project (which took a year to film) via stellar data-delivery systems. While he wasn’t able to be on the set constantly, Anderson received QuickTime files on his iPhone all hours of the night to see how filming was going.

According to Wired, if a prop or character didn’t suit his fastidious eye, he would as for an immediate fix. If a character’s mannerisms were off, Anderson would whip out his Flip video camera and record himself acting out the part.

Pretty cool use of technology if you ask me. And from the trailers, it looks like another fun movie from Wes Anderson.
