The BFG
A highly anticipated film version of the beloved Roald Dahl children’s classic, an acronym anyone of a certain age will instantly know stands for Big Friendly Giant (and I’m showing my age as the book was first published in 1982). Steven Spielberg directs this tale of a young London girl named Sophie (Ruby Barnhill) and the mysterious Giant, The BFG (Mark Rylance) who introduces her to the wonders and perils of Giant Country. The official site has the trailer and how to book tickets at your nearest cinema (pretty much all of them around the UK).
