Fantastic Mr. Fox Press Conference - London Film Festival

Albertina Lloyd from the Press Association asks Wes about the darkness in Roald Dahl's story adaptations. Wes shares his experience of being scared by Dahl's works and explains that while they didn't make the story darker, they aimed to maintain its original tone. The script writing process involved imagining how Dahl might have expanded the story into a movie. Wes highlights that the characters face real danger, as in the book, and they preserved key elements like Mr. Fox's tail being shot off. The discussion concludes with Wes affirming their commitment to staying true to the book's essence.
