The adaptation stars Mark Ryance, Ruby Barnhill, Penelope Wilton, Rebecca Hall, Bill Hader, Rafe Spall and Jemaine Clement.
Rylance was cast in the leading role on 27 October 2014, with Spielberg at the time been quoted as saying: "Mark Rylance is a transformational actor. I am excited and thrilled that Mark will be making this journey with us to Giant Country. Everything about his career so far is about making the courageous choice and I'm honoured he has chosen The BFG as his next big screen performance."
In the trailer Sophie (Ruby Barnhill) is snatched from her bed by The BFG and is taken to what is known as the “Giant country.” There Sophie questions why she was taken instead of one of the other orphans. The giant tells her he chose her because he “hears her lonely heart.” Towards the end of the 2 minute trailer the pair is confronted by a group of evil giants.
You get to experience the “giant world” in 3D as it’s scheduled to be released in the Disney Digital 3-D and RealD 3D formats. How awesome is that?
The film hits South African cinemas July 2016.
