Feb 23 2007Fantastic Mr. Fox Voices Cast?

An article in The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that George Clooney and Cate Blanchett are close to signing on as the voice leads in Wes Anderson's stop-motion adaptation of The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Based on the Roald Dahl book, Clooney would play Mr. Fox, a clever fox who steals from the supplies of three mean local farmers, with Blanchett playing his wife, presumably Mrs. Fox. After remembering the above illustration from the book, I'm thinking Charles Nelson Reilly might have been a better choice.

Apparently Wes Anderson seems to be of the impression that a zany scarf, red jacket and big bag slung over one's shoulder instantly transforms them into a character.
