Steven Spielberg Lines Up Dahl's "The Bfg"

Steven Spielberg is attached to direct a live-action film adaptation of author Roald Dahl's 1982 children's book "The Bfg" says THR.


The story is about on a Big Friendly Giant who befriends a young orphan girl.

Melissa Mathison ( E.T.), wrote the adapted screenplay.

Frank Marshall will produce the pic.

Even though Spielberg is attached to helm a number of films at the moment, Bfg has an early 2015 production start penciled in.

The question is can Spielberg do a smaller film first and if so, it'll likely be the Spy Plane Film
thriller with Tom Hanks announced the other day.
