Clooney and Blanchett may do the talking for ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’

According to The Hollywood Reporter, George Clooney and Cate Blanchett are both in negotiations for the lead voice over roles in Wes Anderson’s stop-motion animated adaptation of the Roald Dahl’s children’s book classic, “The Fantastic Mr. Fox” - with Clooney slated for “Mr. Fox”, and Blanchett as his better half. At the moment, Wes is holed up in New York somewhere, putting post-production touches on the Wilson-Schwartzman-Brody-in-India adventure The Darjeeling Limited.

Here’s looking forward to Fox, and a new direction from Wes - because up to this point, all public information on Darjeeling, from the familiar face casting to the layed-on-thick costume aesthetic, gives the impression of a greatest-hits medley.
