I recently discovered this featurette on one of the films I'm tracking this fall - Fantastic Mr. Fox, based off the children's book by Roald Dahl. This clip goes behind the scenes of the creative direction for the movie and how the director spent quite a bit of time investigating Mr. Dahl's home and surroundings in order to gain inspiration for the film.
What struck me as remarkable is the fact that Mrs. Dahl is largely in favor of her late husband's works being translated onto the screen considering that the reaction of the author and/or his family is usually the opposite. This is one of the reasons I'm excited to see this movie. When a classic book is adapted through filmmaking not so much for the sake of making money as for the purpose of telling it in a whole new light, you know that the filmmakers' efforts are going to be wonderful and worthwhile.
